As excited as I am about the “State of the Church” weekend that I wrote about on Friday, I’m stuck at home because of the state of my leg is currently, “mummified.” See exhibit A below…
On Friday, I had a minor surgical procedure done to remove the annoyingly disgusting vericose vein from my left calf. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’ve never seen me in shorts. It’s pretty hard to miss. I’ve had it for years. It’s been growing in size since High School, and I finally decided to do something about it.
Of course the doctor told me that I would be a little woozy on Friday but I could have a pretty normal weekend after that. He did not tell me that his definition of normal included not taking a shower for 48 hours. He also told me yesterday that I can’t workout for at least a week, and I have to wear “support hose” for two weeks following the procedure.
I guess as long as it’s fixed at the end of all this I should be happy… but…
I am not looking forward to the ridicule of my “stocking.”

Luckily they are white stockings. Makes it look like I have a prosthetic leg.

David–I know—fascinating definitions of “Minor surgery”.
Next thing–you will get a local so you can send out pictures during the surgery!!
Just take it easy while you have an excuse.

…and I had it said to me once, “Minor surgery is that which is done to someone else!”
