I'll be sending lots of "heal, foot, heal!" thoughts your husband's way a week from Tuesday. Best wishes for an easy recovery. Please remind him to follow doctor's orders on recovery- my stepmom just had surgery on her foot and is merrily undoing all the repair work the doctor did (six bones fused together) because she's too impatient to stay off of it. You'd think after ten years of hobbling around she'd take the surgery more seriously, but no. So she'll be back to hobbling in no time.
