Another December, another foot surgery

Toes 2 and 3 on my right foot were having some metatarsal head issues, so those were completely removed on Friday. Only an hour-long surgery, so done under local this time - I was sedated, but awake enough to ask, "You won't let me watch, but should I be feeling that?" when they started cutting. They juiced me up right away. I enjoyed hearing what little discussion there was, and the saws always sound weird. I'm on crutches for a couple weeks, pins and stitches come out in two weeks, but should be walking in my boot after that. Still haven't needed the pain meds (only filled one prescription out of three anyway), so that's good. Can't wait to see the x-rays.
