My awesome assistant at school, Lisa, met us at the hospital and stayed with us as they prepped me for surgery.  The nurses were fantastic and even set me up with a fancy gown that was fitted with a warm air hose that could be adjusted to achieve optimum comfort.  They started me on a second antibiotic (Vancomycan) in hopes of killing off whatever had attacked my foot so quickly.

Later, some good friends from church sat with us and gave us lots of words of encouragement.
