Day 1 - Surgery Day

Arrived at surgical center at 11:00 for my procedure.

I am schedule to have a lateral wedge calcaneal osteotomy, as well as repair for tendon and ligament.

Surgery was scheduled for 2 hours, but instead took 3.5 hours, due to some complications with the tendon repair, which was much more difficult than expected.

Was given a nerve block which is expected to last for 3 days, as well as a prescription for Percocet and anti-biotic to take for 5 days.

Went home, and zoned out for a couple of hours.  Felt some pressure in my heal area, but otherwise, no real discomfort.

Went to bed at 10:30, but slept like crap, likely due to a over-consumption of iced tea during the day.
