How excited am I for December 1st?

Medical Bills
This morning I got a huge wake up call when I logged onto our health insurance site and saw my total expenses over the last six months… over $40,000! I can’t believe how much all the scans, MRIs, biopsies, medication and surgery can add up to!
I am so thankful to have health insurance!
Cold weather
I am told we have about 4 days of winter in Orlando. I hope we just finished 2 of them! It has been in the 40-50 degrees the last few days and the cats are not happy!
Orlando 1/2 marathon
I went and picked up my race packet… I am guessing g it is not a good idea to try the 1/2 marathon this weekend!
Foot update
I am just a little over 10 days post surgery and doing great. I have been up and moving more so you can see the swelling. The first photos is 3 days post op and the 2nd is from yesterday morning when I had the surgical dressing changed. No pain and I am moving around pretty good on my scooter!
Too bad I am going to have to go and pick up my 1/2 marathon packet on my crutches on Thursday! Not sure I will be up for the race this weekend!
Quiet recovery
It was nice having surgery so close to Thanksgiving as work has been really quiet.
In fact I have retired down to the pool this afternoon to do some reading!
Surgery
Surgery went great and I am home resting now. We had lots of kitties happy to see us!
The doctor took photos during surgery, but thought it was best not to share them… I also found out right before surgery that I would need a bone graft. What I didn’t realize is that they used ground cadaver bones to make it!
We got home around 5 last night and got settled in.
This morning I made my first adventure out on my scooter. We went to Whole Foods and I even used my basket. I have to admit I am a bit tired now!
Surgery week
I am off in the morning for surgery. It has been a few months full of up and downs to say the least. It has been hard leaving our friends in Cayman, but being in the US has been good for me medically. I am a bit scared to be going back in for surgery on Friday, but I will have Richard and Jenifer with me.
Home sweet home in 5 month?
Big Cat Sanctuary
We went to the Big Cat Sanctuary and it was amazing to see all the cats, but so sad to see how many people think that owning a big cat is a good idea.
