Nothing Will Stand in the Way of Festivus

In response to a blog post from my friend, Chad Murphy Price. . .

I had a similar experience yesterday, as far as being told surgery would help me. See, I have a callasse on my right ankle that keeps reappearing, but doesn't totally heal. The doctor told me that the true method for removing all of the callasse is through a surgical procedure.

Reflecting back on the surgeries that I can remember, I definitely rember that I was in a ton of pain, and incapacitated for two months- with three weeks of painful in-hospital rehab following the 2nd procedure.

The nurses here at the Mary Bryant Home, myspelf, and my mom all feel that this is really not worth any of the struggle and pain. My mom doesn't want me to have to go through the painful recovery all over again, and my parients and friends don't want to see me have to go through any of that pain all over again- either.

I'd much rather spend my time helping out with all the Festivities of Festivus. I've been helping for a few weeks now, and I don't want to have to give up this activity that I love, just for a surgical procedure that could make walking more difficult than it is now- or maybe cause me to never be able to walk again. My life is here in the land of Festivus, where I belong. Nothing is going to change that.
