spurs

 I had foot surgery on Wednesday to remove a few bone spurs that did not belong there and should not have been growing there!  I have had them for years, but they have really been bothering me quite a bit lately.  When Matt was in vet school I used to run alot.  That is when my foot started hurting me, but a little rub down and warm water took care of the problem.  It used to hurt me once a month and then went away quickly.  In the past few years it would bother me once a week or so, but lately is has been hurting me alot more often and the pain would not go away.  So I took matters into Dr Taylor's hands.

 Wednesday Dr Taylor took the bone chunks out, I took drugs and slept for 2 days, and now all is well!  I had a check up with him today and I was excited to see the incisions and how things are coming along.  He is very pleased with how things look, and I am pleased with how I feel now that I don't need the drugs.  I am still a little swollen, but things are good.  I can walk almost normally and it is good to get outside again.  I have to wear this sweet boot.  I have been wearing it since the surgery, but now that I am up and at em, it is kinda funny.  I get to stay with this sweet thing for another 9 days, which means I am going to look sweet while celebrating the 4th of July in Torrey, Utah!

Rachel! Did you put the boot on the wrong foot? Too many drugs huh? Kidding...Probably a universal thing!

Hey funny girls, I have heard that so many times!! I promise - it is an any foot kind of boot! But yeah, the drugs the first few days were crazy!
