M is for....

Minor sugery!

Yep you read it right...I'm having minor foot surgery. It turns out that I have a fractured bone in my big toe of my right foot. My second Podiatrist found it so we are having him surgically remove that fractured bone. He said that it is not a necessary bone to have to do all the normal daily activities. Now if I ever consider to be a ballerina then those dreams would probably not come true since removing this bone will take away some of the precise foot movements that a ballerina must master. But since I am not considering to be a dancer in my future...I'm sure I will be ok.

My surgery is schedule for Tuesday, August 19th at 7:30 in the morning. The doctor said that I should be out of the hospital by 12,noon that day depending on how long it takes me to come out of the anesthesia. All of your prayers will be greatly appreciated. After the surgery I will post pictures of my cool scars! I'm sure it will be very small but still it will be a good story to tell my children right? I have learned that I have to be optimistic in cases like this or else I will never make it through.

There is one bad thing about this surgery which is the fact that I must be on crutches for the first week or so of school. My classes start 2 days after my surgery. Fortunately my father made a great point the other day regarding me having to use crutches. He said, "See Myra these crutches could be a great thing, When you are struggling with your books and crutches at the same time; then some cute boy will come up and help you." It made me laugh. My dad is hilarious sometimes! I loved it! I was thinking...I think the purpose of this surgery was for me to find my husband...its inevitable! haha!

Well with surgery next Tuesday and classes starting the following Thursday I think I'm going to be pretty busy with everything. I will attempt to update my blog pretty frequently. I just hope school doesn't take up TOO much of my time! Prayers are always appreciated!

Hope you all have a great day! i'm off to the annual Cracker Barrel Picnic on my lunch break! Yes even though it has been about a year and a half since I worked there...they still love me and want me to come! YAY!!! i'll leave you with this quote for my final thought! I love you all!
