Hi everyone--
Well, it looks like after five months of extreme pain, I will be going in to San Ramon once again on Thursday morning (3/19) to finally have this toe amputated. Hopefully the pain will be gone soon afterward. Please do keep me in your prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery. I should be released the following morning. Thank you so much for all your prayers and encouraging emails. They really help. I apologize that I can't figure out how to respond to those of you that leave comments on this blog. I know--sad.
