Better stalking than muttering sexual overtones as you go under, no??

I sympathize. I have 2 as well and running with them is not really the best idea to MAKE THEM GO AWAY. I too have thought about surgery but haven't gotten a straight story. So I will be all ears about this and wish you the best!

I'd have been here sooner to cheer you on in your accomplishment at finding a hot foot doctor, but I had the flu and bronchitis. I am sad to report that the doctor who put me on antibiotics was not cute. However, I'm starting to feel better, and tore myself away from licking the photo of Adam Lambert on my computer screen (his new album cover was released today), so I could say, tell me MORE about your foot doctor. Tell me MORE!

It'll be just fine. We'll supply the books and movies while you recuperate.

I hate pain, too. But usually I look forward to the relief from the problem more than the *possibility* of discomfort - try to think about it that way.

Please tell me the post title is a Princess Bride reference? :D

PS- Generally, the worry about the thing is worse than the actual thing.

Firstly, thank you for not posting a picture. I mean, YUCK!

Secondly, Ami has the best comment I've read all week.

Thirdly, suck it up, buttercup. Here is a helpful meditation exercise for you over the next month and a half: when you start to get anxious about the surgery, play this clip. Visualize how this will be you after you've rid yourself of the electricity shooting bunion. Doesn't that soothe your cares?

I'm with you. Focus and dwell on the dread. I'd tell you to snap out it, but that doesn't really work.

You have to weigh the happy vs the not-so-happy here...

If you do nothing about this, it will ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. For the REST OF YOUR LIFE your foot will hurt.

Anesthesia, surgery and recovery? A few weeks.

My grandma had bunion surgery. I called her when she got home to find out how she was feeling. And she said, "I'm just missing Paul so much now that he's gone."

"Paul?" I asked. (Grandma, I asked about your surgery... I mean I know you're slipping, but really, that's kind of off into la la land, isn't it?)

She made an exasperated noise.
"Paul Bunion."

Oi.

Oh. And my word recognition is 'unworre'

Which is pretty close to what you should do.
