Broken

Well, for the first time in my life, I broke something - my foot.  I went to the orthopedic surgeon today for my follow-up and to find out if I was going to have a cast put on.  But, he sent in a specialist.  Dr. Hicks looked like he is not old enough to drive!  Anyway, they say  he is one of the best there is.  Dr. Hicks told me that I had two options.  Option #1:  Put a cast on it and hope the the bone miraculously heals and carry the cast for six weeks.  Option #2:  Have surgery to put a screw in and be in a boot and dramatically increase my chances for a full recovery.  Survey says...!  Option #2 please.  Monday I go under the knife for the first time.  It's out patient and should be home in a couple of hours.  However, because I am such a huge wimp, I am not looking forward to "sleepy time."  I guess I need to find my stuffed monkey, Rutherford, to keep me company...
