24 Hours

Tomorrow by this time I will be in the O.R. having this food fixed. Two years ago while my Mom was hospitalized I broke it and didn't do a thing about it. That decision has come to cause me a lot of pain in the last two years. The surgeon now has to re break the bone, shave off some spurs and fix the toes. I will be in a cast for 6 weeks. I do have a plan as to how I'm going to spend my time. Lots of knitting...


I feel very confident about the surgeon doing this operation, what I don't have is confidence in is the hospital. My reasons are purely emotional, it is the hospital where my mom died from what I thought was pure neglect and a general dislike of elderly people. I witnessed many terrible things in the six weeks my mother spent there.

This is my fourth surgery for different things since December 2007 and hope it will be my last for a little while.
