My Journal #2

Jan 1,2013

Here it is Jan 1 late afternoon with the men dozing during the Wisconsin vs Stanford game. 
I had my foot surgery Dec 26th and I am recovering. The surgery went well and Monday the Dr changed the dressing (I didn't look) and said it was healing nicely but I needed to make sure that it was elevated.
On Monday Evening we were invited to our friend's house for fellowship. We had a great time. They are such good cooks.We ate sweet potato soup the first hour, a wonderful Kale inspired salad with pomegranate seeds and a great dressing. Later we had smoked pork sliders with coleslaw and black-eyed peas. Coconut wafers for dessert. It lasted from 6-12 and even though I sat with my foot up most of the time, there were times I joined the group and sat with my foot down. It is very sore today.
It is the top of my foot that hurts so bad, not my toe or area where the surgery was. So I laid on the couch most of the day with my foot on the arm rest (above my heart) and hope it gets better. I don't want to medicate the pain, I want it to go away on its own.

I have been working on my 2012 Nano manuscript. I haven't got very far, still on first chapter but I am editing and rewriting as I go.  I am tired still and I hope that going to bed early tonight will revive me and I will be ready to hit the revising with more energy.
