Thoughts of a surgery wimp

* The pain wasn't so bad but the boredom might kill me.
* I'm puzzled why the boot is called "one size fits all". After the first three patients to use one, it should have been clear that that ain't so.
* Is it the surgery or the laying about that is making me feel peckish?
* I am so so lucky to have Stew for my nurse!
* If this is all I can think of to write, maybe I shouldn't write.

A few last photos before surgery

The garden is looking good....I have had pizza and fun times with the family.....The triplets have some new summer clothes....Nevy is wearing grandma-knits and has been cuddled and loved....I guess the only left to do is to have my Achilles tendon repaired. I'm as ready as I'm going to be so let's get on with it.
