Home Sweet Home / Post Surgery

So a year or so ago my foot fractured or at least on the small bones in the foot called a sesmoid. Finally after a long restricted PT profile, x-rays, bone scans and ct scans I finally got the surgery needed to correct it. They had to remove the bone completely and while they were in shortened another bone as well.

When I woke up from anesthesia I thought they said something about a screw but wasn’t sure. I could care less really as long as the issue is fixed and I can return to duty as soon as possible but I heard right

oh well! Like I said, I just want to return to training and being able to get to the field. The healing process will take a few months and the added benefit to the procedure is one month of convalescent leave and I am back in Texas until the 20th of October!

I am looking forward to seeing friends and family and relaxing by the pool!

About joearms

I am just a guy on a journey like everyone else. Some may not realize that is what life is and not have a “road map” ready. I was the same way for a long time. Now, I know where I am headed and what direction I want to go in life. The reason for this Word Press page is to allow a glimpse of my history, heart, and dream to you. Everyone has a way of venting or expressing the way they feel when the good, the bad, and the ugly comes along. While by no means am I a “poet” or some great writer, writing for me is my escape. I have now been in the military since May of 2010 and love it. This is something I have always wanted to, felt called to do. I started off as a candidate for Special Forces and dropped my contract do to injury, now I am with the 82nd Airborne division at Fort Bragg in NC. My hope is that through something I have written or challenge I am facing, you can learn from my mistakes and successes and also challenge yourself to something greater. - Joe View all posts by joearms
