Stupid Ass Foot

When I had the surgery to have the ganglion removed from my left foot the doctor warned me that it could come back. After the surgery tho he felt really good about it's removal and didn't think that it would return. He was WRONG. It's not only back but bigger and badder than it was presurgery. So back to the surgeon I go and we schedule yet another surgery. This time it will be in July because I am going to ArtFiberFest in June in Portland and I am NOT canceling that because of my foot. And to top it all off, on Monday I took Satchel to the dog park. He and a 6 month old boxer were having the best time playing. I was standing talking with the owner when both dogs slam into me from behind and down I went. Twisting my left ankle and landing hard on my left side. I got up and was glad nothing was broken and hobbled back to the bench. Thankfully all of this happened on the lawn area and not the concrete or it could have been a lot worse. I have sprained my ankle and yes of course it is the same foot as the ganglion. So now it has the ganglion lump, swollen from the sprain and rather black and blue. I am like an accident waiting to happen.
