Tuesday I was admitted and several days later a bone surgeon opened my left fourth metatarsal to the morrow - the beginning of healing! A few days later I was transferred to a skilled nursing facility with rehab. But before I could get to the rehab part I was sent back to the hospital on account of kidney function. Seems I was developing acute renal failure but our kidney specalist seems to have gotten it under control and, while still affected, I can see definite improvement.

On schedule, about 10 weeks after surgery, my wound healed and I was given permission to start putting weight on it and the PT intensified. By June 21 I was well enough to be sent home. One bonus of my stint in the care facility was that the food was so bad I went from 275 lbs at entry to 225 at exit! May I hold on to most of that weight loss.

Upon return home my poor brain was wiped clean from such things as my e-mail password - my first password - where I also stored other pws. Recovered that today.

Good to be back in the land of the living.
