Hey - I wanted to get out a timely word and thanks to you guys! [Yikes... i sent this to my church on Wed. Feb 11. I'm sorry I'm so behind. A lot has gone on and I sort of forgot to update. Not timely at all. Thanks for still checking it out here. :) ]
I got my fixator off this morning. It was pretty quick, just 30 min. like they said. I was even wide awake without any grogginess by 9:30 am. The amusing part (at least I hope so) is that I think they misplanned on having a boot. The nurse told me I was going to have a cast; I said, I can't have a cast, I have to go in for skin graft checkups, and then my Dr. came in and said, "Uh, we're gonna put on a splint. Yeah, we'll put on a boot for you at your 1st checkup." I just couldn't say, "... did you forget?"
But the best part is that it just feels better. The pain is, for right now, basically gone. I'm trying to learn now how to lightly touch the toe down when walking with crutches. It's wrapped up tight, but I don't feel the discomforts of lugging around a cubic meter of titanium. I was a little fearful of the unknown, but so far it's been a big blessing.
Brian Christensen - I'm going to use the pieces of the fixator to make a sculpture of the Tower of Babel. Maybe a mobile. Feel free to use it in the art collection at the appropriate time.
Thanks be to God for all this. And thanks for all your prayers. I'm on the next leg of the journey.
Peace of Christ to you,
Todd
