[nagdu] having surgery

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Hi Mary,
I got Landon in November 2007 and had foot surgery in April of 2008.  I 
stayed a few days at my parent's place with my Mom taking care of Landon. 
It was so funny - my 4 foot 11 inch Mom had no troouble walking Landon in 
his head collar.  But my 6 foot Dad had all kinds of trouoble walking 
Landon! LOL!

After another week or so on crutches, and then on a support cane for several 
months, Landon did very wwell.  He never forgot his job and he slowed down 
for me.  Now, he's too slow for me as I now walk faster as a result of that 
surgery.  Actually, I had TWO foot surgeries while I had Landon - the one in 
April of 2008 and the other foot was done in March of 2009.

I wouldn't worry.  If there is any issues, then you know that your school is 
a phone call or email away if needed.

Good luck with the surgery and happy healing!

Lyn and Landon
