Post Op Day 174 - check list

Energy level: Normal
Pain level: .5

In my hardware removal pre-operation interview the nurse asked if I had ever had surgery before... hum... wonder how those screws got embedded in my heel?

She did laugh when I pointed out the obvious. Silly pre-op checklist! :)

I have to say, I am a little nervous about this surgery. I wouldn’t be so adamant about getting the screws out if I had been pain free. But the truth is that I walk with a limp and I feel a tiny bit of pain with every step.

Dr. D insists that many people live with screws embedded in their bones for the rest of their lives. This is not the life for me.

Those screws have got to go!
