The news from Albany is that both doctor appointments went very well today. The "miracle of the foot" is that Grandpa's foot was so painful yesterday that he could not even walk in to the bedroom last night, so Grandma wheeled him to bed in the wheelchair. When he stepped down on to the floor from the wheelchair, he felt a pop in his foot and the pain was immediately gone.
This morning he still felt fine, walking on it like normal. Dr. Ashdown confirmed that his problem was not a bone spur, but something called something like "sygmoiditis". The great thing was that Dad got a manipulation/realignment (which I guess is the treatment for it) on his own, and needs no further treatment at all.
This afternoon Dr. Gaekward, the hernia surgeon, said that his incision is healing normally and he will see him again in three weeks. No more antibiotics or pain pills! Yeah!!
He will be set to celebrate his 89th birthday on Saturday.
