After a year, I am finally having the ugly, horrible, and sometimes painful bunion removed! I am so thankful, but also a little apprehensive as it involves a spinal and apparently quite a bit of pain. And I will not be able to drive for awhile.

There are so many bigger issues on the forum, but if you could spare a prayer that all goes smoothly tomorrow, I would really appreciate it. And after I heal, I will be shopping for new shoes and maybe even .

Update Feast of St. Lucia
It was not so bad. The doctors and staff were great and very sympathetic. I had to be wheeled around, but learned to use crutches and walk up stairs on crutches. And not too much pain, more of an uncomfortableness because

I HAVE A CAST!

This is so exciting for me as I have never had a cast. And yes, I am having everyone sign it. I am sure the nurses thought I was loony. I wear the cast for 6 weeks which means it is taken off on my ds' 18th birthday (unless of course, I heal quicker). So I am hobbling around the house, but in general, feeling pretty good.

Thank you to everyone for the prayers. I know that they helped me through this as I was so worried about the pain (yes, I was a wimp about it)!

Carole, praying much for you! You've done so many times for me!
And I couldn't help getting caught up in all the excitement with the new emoticon's you displayed!
Things can only get better from here!
