Bye Bye Raptor Toes

Jeff went in for surgery on both his pinkie toes today. We showed up at the surgery center 30 minutes early, so they were able to begin the surgery early. We put them ahead of schedule for the rest of the day. That's a good thing in the medical field, in fact when is that not a good thing. The surgery lasted 2 hours, and recovery for about 30 min. Of course he will be at home recovering for at least 3 weeks. The surgeon said that everything went great, and expects a full recovery. He cut the tendons, took out some bone, and put pins in each of his toes. He has to keep his feet elevated and keep ice on them to prevent swelling. We can't forget the drugs of course. He's all doped up on Percocet, and is feeling pretty pain free right now. He's also saying "I love you" a lot, I guess this makes him a little more affectionate than normal. Not that he doesn't say it enough, he's just saying A LOT today. I told him it's always nice to hear, so bring on the affection! He's probably just sucking up because he knows that I have to wait on him, and if he's not nice he's not getting dinner! Now he just needs to rest and follow the doctor's orders. He'll probably get pretty restless with all this sitting around that he'll be doing so feel free to give him a call, he'd be happy to hear from you. We'll keep you posted on the rest of the recovery, for now here are some pictures from today.....
