"Perspective and Appreciation"

For the past 6 days I have been confined to my bed or the recliner because I had surgery on the big toe of my right foot. My Stake President Dr. Ridge performed the surgery.(Hey I need all the inspiration I can get!) Let me tell you there is nothing like being layed up to make you appreciate your life when your feelen good and everything is groovy. I don't know what my big toe has to do with doing my hair but it must be the way I stand or something but I can't get my hair to go since my surgery. Try putting a plastic garbage bag on your leg with a rubber band to keep it in place and then try lowering yourself into the tub with the right leg hanging over the edge. Sorry, I should not have taken you there, not a pretty sight. I can get up for 10 minutes every hour, well, I have been up for longer then that but I can't do much that needs to be done. Even writing this I have to do it in intervals because I have to prop my foot up and it's hard to find something just the right level. Tomorrow I go to get the bandage changed. My son Rod had Surgery on his little toe for the same thing just days before I did and they will be taking his stitches out tomorrow. He said the doctor told him that your foot takes a long time to heal. I guess because there isn't a whole lot of skin to stretch and the incision can break back open if your not careful. Anyway...it has given me a new perspective on life and I appreciate the healthy, whole, body and life much more!!!
