My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday April 24th. My husband was told he was going to lose his job on May 7th, his contract was not renewed at the school he is at... but he has been having problems with pain in his feet so I convinced him to finally go to the doctor about it before his job ended. The doctor said it was so bad he would have to have immediate surgery so they have him scheduled for April 26th, just 2 days after me, before I'm even mobile yet. They are doing surgery on the worst foot first, and it will take 8 weeks before he can walk on it somewhat normally, then they are going to operate on his other foot and that will take another 8 weeks... so no work for him for 16 weeks. I'll probably be off work 8-12 weeks. Thankfully most of the house is on one level.... the kids are going to have to all the running around for us.. Thankful Nehru got his driver's license 2 weeks ago. He will get to do most of the shopping and cooking of supper for a while. He works a day job from 11 to 5 Monday - Friday, then varied hours over the weekend to get him up to to his 40 hr work week. Life is about to get very challenging for us around here.
