NITTY GRITTY TOWN TIME

Mike had appointments today -- the dentist and the podiatrist. He has scheduled surgery to have the bunion on his left foot removed on November 28 (the Wednesday after Thanksgiving). The podiatrist says it is imperitive that he not put any weight on that foot for six weeks, so he will be on crutches during the holidays. His goal is to get surgery and the recovery out of the way as much as possible before mid-January when tax prep begins. So we'll be busy the next two weeks as we prepare for his convalescence. That will include putting up outside Christmas lights on the town house and installing a stairway banister on the farm. I guess it's a good thing I'm retired. In fact, I think he put this off until such time as I was retired. KW
