Keep Your Foot Elevated

 Randa and I are twins.  We seem to be becoming more and more alike.  Two years ago, on our visit to our dentist in Algodones, we both had a tooth extraction of the same tooth on the same day.  (It is more convenient for the dentist, no doubt.)

  Anyway, we just have spent several day trips to Algodones this month to take care of needed crowns.  It was a long process but it turned out alright.

 We also have been visiting the local podiatrist.  I had a spur removed from my little toe on my left foot.  I have been dealing with the discomfort of the spur for several months so I am glad to have it removed ( and straightened a bit too.)   It was done in Dr Bodmer's office quick and easy.  Randa had a different foot situation.  Her big toe on her right foot was heading away from the foot.  There was a lot of arthritis as well.  Her procedure involved day surgery at the local hospital.  The joint was scraped to remove the disease and then spacers were placed in the joint.  Dr B has done thousands of these surgeries so we decided to have the surgery before we go home because he is going to retire.  As soon as Randa gets the "all clear", we will head for home.  Meanwhile we both are wearing a boot on one of our feet.  

  We are twins, you know.
