I am having surgery on my left foot on Wednesday...this is the same foot that I had surgery on a year and a half ago, but the procedure the surgeon did was not what failed, what failed were the screws that he used to build my foot back up. I woke one morning with extremely painful foot, only to find out a week later that some of the screws had broken in my foot. The weird thing is that I went to bed and my foot was ok, I woke up and the screws had broken and I was in tremendous pain, much more pain than when I had the surgery. He said it usually is because one uses the foot before it is ready. I told him what happened and he thought it strange too. So, anyway, he is using a better procedure this time, and I am supposed to be in surgery for about 2 hours. I am asking for some prayer and good thoughts my way for the surgery--that it be successful and I would have no more problems with the foot. The other foot that he did did not have any problems. So if you can do that for me I would appreciate it. Thanks so much for all you do...for me, as well as for a lot of others, prayer means a lot...thank you to all who pray and ask God to bless and heal.

Surgery went better than expected. They put a nerve block in at the back of my knee, so that my whole lower part of my leg was numb. So, instead of having general anesthesia, they used enough sedation drugs so that I would be comfortably asleep and not feel anything. So now the foot is resting, I am resting, and I am wide awake.

Thank you all for your prayers. They truly mean a lot to me, and I appreciate them so much. I know that I get through my surgeries more quickly because people are praying.

Bless you all!!!
