Dad 553: Feet Feat

(Dad writes today! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another day of losing the sun as the day goes by. The temperature is just below freezing. But in a couple days we will be half-way through February. Spring is in our future!

 

Lew drove me up to see Mary Lou today. He also shoveled a path for us to use outside her window for our outdoor visits. It was the first time in a week I went to see my bride of 60 years. It was good to see her and find out that she had her last vaccine shot for COVID-19 yesterday. Now I must get mine!

 

Tomorrow I go for a yearly check up with our primary care physician. I will try to get on their list as soon as possible for the vaccine. Hope it works out. Could possibly check at the pharmacy for a date if it will be faster. Do want to get it done.

 

My toe is healing well after my surgery. I'll check on both my feet on Friday at my after-toe-amputation visit. I'm trying to use a cane to keep pressure off my feet. I find it a lot easier to move around without the cane. But just following the doctor's orders.

 

See you next week. Cheers for Tom the GOAT!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

An "Off" Day

I could not get out of my own way at work today. 

I told my boss I was having an "off" day. 

When I asked him if he ever has days like that, he answered, "EVERY day."

I didn't feel so bad after that.

Seven Rings

Tom Brady now has as many Super Bowl wins as my father has toes.

Congratulations to the GOAT!

Dad 552: Seven Left

(Enjoy this Friday installment of "Derf Wednesday!" ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Two days late and a few dollars short. Now I'll tell you why I'm removed from my regular blog time....

 

On Wednesday I had surgery. The middle toe on my left foot was infected. The infection was in the bone. (A couple years ago this happened on my right foot. I went to the hospital then with sepsis and also found out I was diabetic. Was lucky to clear up my blood from bacteria in a week.)

 

Before this Wednesday I had two missing toes. Three toes are now gone.

 

Hope everything is healing properly. I'll find out Monday, February 8th. (Only three weeks left in February!)

 

Mary Lou will receive her second and final vaccine shot on Tuesday. Now I'll try to get mine.

 

Hoping Brady wins his seventh Super Bowl on Sunday. It is only a game. Go GOAT!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

There IS a Light

Fans of Derf will need to wait at least one more day. I got home from work late (again), and Dad had not written his post yet. So we decided to postpone his weekly post until tomorrow.

Work will continue to be busy, but I'm starting to believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel is very curvy with lots of twists and turns, so I can't SEE the light yet. But the light is there.... I just know it!

Thanks for checking in. 😊

A "Toe"-tal Success

Dad now has one less toe on his left foot. Since that was the goal of this morning's surgery, I guess you could say the operation was a success.

I got home late from work tonight and told Dad he could wait until tomorrow to write his weekly blog post, so please be sure to check back soon!

Snow Day!

I had a snow day today!

It wasn't like when I was a school kid, though, since I did work. But at least I got to work from home.

Dad is getting another toe removed tomorrow, so I'm not sure if he will be writing his usual Wednesday post or not. He will certainly have something to talk about if he does!

Did the groundhog see his shadow today? I haven't heard. I don't remember what it means anyway....
