Connie Foot Update

It has been two weeks since our last appointment with the Foot God, who sent us home the last visit without scheduling surgery because the wound was no longer tunneling and was smaller.  I hadn't expected much, and perhaps this is the new way of looking at it, but the wound was THE SMALLEST IT HAS EVER BEEN...in twenty months.
