Autumn Snowstorm!

A foot of snow outside our window!

We sure got a fantastic snowstorm yesterday and last night! I love the snow, and I always get excited when we get big storms like this. We had a foot of snow at our house, but other areas of town had 2 and 3 feet! When it’s snowy and gray out, I love doing cozy things inside, like baking cookies or reading by the heater. Today I had to go to work instead…a rather poor substitute for cozy indoor stuff. My real wish is that it would snow another foot and they’d close the building so I wouldn’t have to go to the Halloween potluck tomorrow. Hah! Probably no such luck… 🙂

Foot Surgery

Lindsey Foot Surgery

Geez, sorry for the unannounced blogging hiatus! Last Wednesday I had bunion surgery where they re-aligned the big-toe joint in my foot by breaking the first metatarsal bone, inserting a wedge of fake bone, and securing the break spot with a plate and 4 screws. The surgery went well, but the past week has been…interesting. The recovery has definitely been more difficult than I expected, with intense pain and intense nausea from the anesthesia & pain meds. And I’m getting kind of tired of lying flat on my back with my foot propped high up in the air! Bleh.

Hopefully, though, I’ll be getting back to posting more regularly! I’ve got lots of neato things to show you. 🙂

EDIT: I had the same surgery done — bunionectomy with osteotomy, with a plate and 4 screws inserted — on the other foot on Feb 23, 2010. Here’s an update from that surgery.
