Surgery I was scheduled for a 1:10pm surgery. The hospital called at 10am saying that if I could get there soon they might be able to fit me in sooner.

I was already showered and preped so I was off immediatly and was in the prep room at the hospital by 10:30. Then I wait for 5 1/2 hours before the surgery.

Thankfully it was a local anesthetic so I did not have such a long post-op recovery. Unfortunatly, I was completely asleep and do not remember much past them pushing the drugs into the IV. I have a brand new screw and another piece of footware. Already, and surely I am still under pain medicine, but I know that things are better.

OK, it is now many hours past surgery and I am still quite fine. I have not taken any medication and the foot feels fantastic. I can even roll my foot to the big toe side with no pain. This is wonderful. Three cheers for screw removal technology.  ¶ 17:58
