    I'm sure the idea of being able to golf again has his eyes twinkling 
    Dyan, I'll bet you notice a big improvement in your husband's attitude and mental recovery based on this news.  I think being able to resume a truly enjoyable hobby or activity does wonders for any "patient."  I've seen that with a couple other family members who underwent some major surgeries and illnesses (both were men -- they seem to mope more when they can't do their favorite things).  Glad to hear his feet are so much better and the brace has gone bye-bye!

    Dyan I'm glad you checked in -- see the dogs ARE easier.  You can shove a pill in liverwurst and say "eat this" and they will.  With husbands sometimes there isn't much you can do *sigh*!

    [sm=rotfl.gif] You never know... that could work with some men.

      It's great to hear that the swelling in his feet is a lot better and he's out of the brace; I hope the soreness in his toe goes away soon.

    Happy to see everything is on the upswing for DH now, Dyan!

    Thank you Lisa!
    He went to his first therapy this morning.. has to go twice a week for 6 weeks. I was suprised when he got home we took Bubblegum for a walk,,,I was sure he would say he was too tired from therapy. I'm thinking they told him walking will help him. I didn't ask him though...didn't want to "force" him to lie...lol!!!   You know...just incase he really doesn't want to go,,he doesn't want to hear me saying  "you know what they said!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  But they said his back is really really stiff, especially on the said they took the bone out for the graft.     Now he goes back to the doctor about his feet on Friday... its still a sore big toe that is swelled.  So we'll see what she says!

       I hope the therapy helps his back; my son had a sore back and went through several weeks of therapy. They taught him exercises to help loosen his back and it really helped. Let us know what the doctor says about his toe; sending healing vibes.

    Thanks Janice.
    I am happy that he is going,,,,he is really stiff and kind of nervous about doing things...so now he HAS TO!!  LOL!
    Janice,,I must tell you though, that DH went to therapy before his surgery,,,,when he was still trying to avoid surgery...but it made him worse.   It was half way thru the sessions that the girl told him he should ask for a cat scan.
    But there was no helping his problem except for surgery.

    DH went back to the doctor that he went to for his swollen red feet.  HHHmmm!  Things are better thats for sure.
    It came down to the swelling and redness seem to be gone except for his one big toe,,,which seem to be hurting a lot on and off. Do you believe,,,Dr said it might be a bunioun  (why doesn't that spelling look right????)  
    I can't believe THAT is what its come down to...although I'm quite happy that it doesn't seem to be worse...after all the worry!  Hopefully,,,it doesn't get worse and up being something more.
    So now he is going to therapy twice a week,,,which is making him REALLY stiff and sore....and the feet problem seem to be gone.  Dr. is keeping him on a water pill/blood pressure pill for a while. Things are looking up pretty much. Thank goodness.
    lets see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now what can I worry about for a while????   LOL   LOL  [sm=banghead002.gif]
