shortened 2 of his toes
fused the front of the bones in his foot
In the back of his leg- lengthened the heel cord.
The Dr came out and showed us the xrays of what they did- He has at least 15 screws in his foot and leg!
He's in a cast up to his knee and the Dr says the recovery is 2-3 months. Dad isn't one to sit for long so hopefully he'll be in the 2 month range.
While we were waiting for him to go into surgery, Mari said- you should take a picture of his toes and blog it- so her wish is my command:

Take note of how crooked his toe is- this is frightening to me, because I have a "hammer toe" already. So I'm hoping this next picture isn't in my future.

I'm glad it's done and now the healing can begin. Hopefully in the coming months he will be able to walk without pain.

Poor Dad - it's a good thing he has a great sense of humor, since his daughters were laughing at his feet and taking pictures! I'm glad this part is done too and hope he heals quick!
I hope he heals quickly!
I hope he heals quickly as well. I can't even imagine how they fit that many screws in one persons foot/leg. That is crazy.
Wonderful news that he did so well. I was praying for all of you. I don't think I can look at the picture anymore though. My tummy get's queasy!!!
So glad to hear that it went well!! I know you were worried. Praying he heals VERY quickly!
Glad to hear it went well, I hope the recovery is swift and not painful.
Glad to hear it went well and now I hope that the healing process will be short and not to boring for him.
Praying for a quick and complete recovery. My mom had foot surgery a couple of years ago and she was out of that cast way before they thought she would be. Praying your dad has the same success.
(You are not allowed to be around me if I need more foot surgery. There will be no sister photo shoot, hehe.)
I am so glad that the Lord answered prayer and that your dad did so well during his surgery.
With all those screws in his foot, he better stay away from all the magnets on the refrigerator! LOL!
I hope he heals quickly :)
LOL you made me laugh with your hammer toe LOL
Glad it went so well, but you girls should be ashamed of yourselves for making fun of your poor dad's feet. Ha Ha :)
I'm glad to hear the surgery went well.
Wishes to your dad for a speedy recovery:)
I'm glad it went well, hope he recovers quickly!

You and your sisters are a hoot! ;)
