Surgery over & I am glad (August 19, 2009)

Letting everyone know that I am feeling better today.  The surgery is behind me and it went well.  I have a cast on my left leg for at least 4 weeks.  I don’t remember anything except right before I went into the operating room.  Dr. Campion is the best surgeon!  He makes me feel comfortable and I trust him with my surgeries.  I have some pain in my left foot but the medicine helps me with this.  It is nice to see all of the UNC and Tarheel things around the hospital and all the Carolina blue colors.  My dad bought me a Tarheel mascot that plays the Tarheel fight song and says Go Heels.  I like it and will play it when the Heels start playing basketball.

I should be getting out of the hospital today or tomorrow, and mom and dad say either way we should be back in Charlotte tomorrow.  The therapy people came by today and built a small wooden leg extension to support my left leg and cast when I use my wheelchair.  I will need it when I start school next week.

I will see everyone soon at the Greek festival, and I will be hanging out in my dad’s Greek Pizza booth.

Thank you for your prayers and your nice messages.
