Great job! They are going to look back on those and laugh and laugh. 😊

I don't have any unanswered questions. But I was just so used to calling her to tell her stuff, almost daily. And I miss that.

It's a message board. Not live. You can just read along until you find out what happened without freaking out. 😛

That sounds like what I have heard about foot surgery. It would be pretty awful. When my close co-worker had bunion surgery, they actually told her to bring headphones. and music. We were in a hot tub at a conference several years later. I held up my foot and asked if hers had looked like mine. She also said O-M-G. No. Hers weren't nearly that bad. The podiatrist also said mine were really bad. But my toes don't overlap, and wide shoes seem to be fine. I was actually scheduled for surgery, but I chickened out.

Congratulations! An admirable goal George. But it doesn't always work out that way. 😊

It sounds like bunion surgery. 😀

@A&L_Ont I think that if Owen ever needs extra income during his adult life, he could probably have a career in the sales of hockey sport memorabilia. Amazing! 😊

I understand nervousness. My only advice would be to go and enjoy without anticipation of any problems.

I was thinking more of them pounding the spike in. 😗

I don't know where you heard that or what your health service is like. But I seriously doubt if that is the case with a hip replacement Graham. Based on the number of contortions and procedures involved in the surgery, general anesthesia is definitely required. Most people would faint dead away if they were allowed to be awake during the procedure.

Thank you so much Larry! That is very helpful. And it gives me some alternative exterior choices. Those look very nice together.

Oh yes! Thank you @brillohead for the very thorough explanation on how the margins are determined, and the reason for the length of the excision. That makes sense. I appreciate all your advice. I was just a little shocked when I removed the bandages for the first time. ☺️

It looks very nice! It will be like a whole new house. Question: Do you know what color that gray is? Manufacturer and color. We are looking for a color for our partial siding. I have a sample can of Sherwin Williams "Inkwell", but we haven't test painted yet, and it might be too dark. I like your dark gray.

Cats are always so helpful that way. ☺️ We always said that Bobby was looking for the secret door that would let him outside. I accidentally closed him in one of the storage end tables one afternoon. 😄

After finding out more about bunion surgery, I just decided that I will wear wide shoes! ☺️
