Tomorrow I'm having my Morton's neuroma removed! What is that, you may ask. From mortonsneuroma dot net, it says:
"Morton’s Neuroma is a condition where there is an enlarged nerve occurring between the third and fourth toes. This junction where two nerves meet each other could be quite a problem for some people because it is bigger in size than the meeting points of other nerves."
I have crutches to use if I need them. I probably won't want to use them because it takes so long to get around. DH is going to drop me off at Greenview, take Sack to school, go to Target to get half-price Halloween candy and then come back to the hospital. By then, I'll probably have already done all the scary stuff and won't need him! I don't understand why you have to be there 2 hours before. I can't have anything to drink after 5:30 so it's going to be hard to wake up and not drink any water.
Saturday, I made up tomorrow's lessons as well as today's lessons who will miss because of Halloween. Then, next week, I only have students on Monday because the next day is Election Day and I had already canceled lessons for that day.
Well, that's it for now!

Been too long!
Gosh, it has been too long! The weather is getting cooler and I don't really like it. The only good thing about winter is that spring comes next. After putting up with this pain/discomfort in my left foot, I'm getting the Morton's neuroma taken out! Sire's stay at the hospital back in February cause us to meet our health insurance deductible so now it pays 90% of everything! Yay! The bad thing is that the only day that I could have it done at Greenview (the cheapest, I called around!) and that DH could take off was a Tuesday and I have to schedule group lessons for most of my students! I think I'm going to have to wear a very ugly post-surgery shoe afterward. Ew. I will also have numbness in my 3rd and 4th toes permanently. Not looking forward to that, but I will be able to wear all my shoes again. Oh, and I can't swim until sometime after the stitches come out. I can shower, but just can't soak my foot or get it in chlorine water. Oh, the worst, worst, worst thing is that I probably won't be able to mow the yard! The brake is on the left side! Boooooo!
Well, 3 days after that, my sister is taking me, her daughter and my 2 girls to see Wicked in Nashville! We have to take our van, but sissy will have to drive. I probably won't feel like driving. I don't know, maybe I will. And, the next week, I have students only on Monday because the next day is election day and I don't have students that day. Yay! I'm thinking that, if I still need to prop my foot up, I'll either have to turn to the right (sort of away from the student) or sit on the other side of the piano. If I do, it'll be hard to keep from getting up to reach the keys. We will see!
Well, we planned to have our grass killed and then have the yard power seeded. We've been watering a bunch since last week. The bad thing is that he waited so long to come seed that weeds grew back! So, now we're watering the weeds along with the new grass! I really don't like it at all. The front yard looks awful. There are big patches of this weed that is like little leaves in the shape of flowers.
On a more positive note, we are getting new carpet! From THE Home Depot. Not just Home Depot. THE Home Depot. Notice the "The" the next time you drive by it. Wow, I just used the word "the" 3 times in a row on the same sentence! A guy came to measure yesterday and they called today with the quote but we weren't home and I forgot to call them back. We will be using some of our tax refund money to pay for it. Tax refund money is also going to pay for 10% part of the surgery.
Cobb made all A's and B's except for one class. Me and the Moms in Touch moms are praying about this. Sack made all A's and B's. First year for letter grades!
Today is DH's 52nd birthday! That means I'll soon be 48. Oh, and speak of growing old, I'm so glad that I swim to stay (well, sort of) fit. I'm up to 20 laps of all freestyle. Yesterday I swam 30 laps to make up for what I'll miss after surgery. But some laps were backstroke and breastroke.
That's all for now. I DO plan on posting again soon.
