OK guys here's number 8!!!
She was born yesterday at 11:53 a.m. and is about 15 minutes old in this photo and got the "OK it's time to eat look on her face. "
She weighed 6 lbs. - 6 ounces and was 19" long. Please welcome Gloria Elizabeth Martin.
Now on the surgery it's something that I've put off a long time but walking is getting almost unbearable. A few years back I had both knees replaced and knew this surgery would come someday too and it's here. I have a very large bone spur right on the back of my right heel right behind the Achilles tendon and when I say large I"m talking about the size of a medium hen egg.
The procedure is very delicate and a long slow recovery too. They will cut the tendon loose and chip the bone spur off then re-attach the tendon.
2 weeks in a splint to let the swelling leave then 6 to 8 weeks in a full cast. Foot must not move nor touch the ground. That's why I'm doing it in the winter and hoping to be doing the re-hab and back on my feet by this spring.
Surgery date is Nov. 08.
So I'll have plenty of adding to and putting up information time on the forum for sure!
