Be careful - I hear that one of the Nashville hospitals are the ones that
turned Ms Parton from a an A/B cup to what she is today.

  The "Wizard" being one of my many MS doctors (no, not Microsoft.. the
*other* MS! LOL)

  I'm going back to the hospital in Nashville tomorrow (Tuesday) morning to
have foot surgery.  The MS has caused my left foot to turn in towards my
right leg and freeze in place and they are gonna cut the Achilles Tendon and
lengthen it, then they are going to pull the muscle that runs beside the
smaller bone in the calf of the leg down to stretch it out.. then possibly
turn the muscle that is on the top of the foot to pull the foot back to the
normal position.  The last part is a "maybe", depends on what he finds when
he gets in there.

  I will have a cast on for anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks (again, depending on
the amount of work he has to do when he gets in there). Once the cast comes
off, they will remove the stitches then I'll be put into a special brace
then off to PT for a couple months or so.  (I've never been in a cast in my
life so I'm *not* looking forward to it!)  ACK!

  I have to be at St. Thomas at 8:30 for a 10:30 surgery.  My dad is taking
me down and staying until after the surgery, then Tom will pick me up on
Wednesday morning.  That way, there will be someone here for Tyler while Tom
is at work (3rd shift).  And this way was better than having Tom miss 2
shifts of work.

  I'll be in touch with Jackie and Michael, so either of them can update you
if you want.

  Hugs to all!
