Britta has a soft tissue mass on her pinky toe and she is having surgery to remove it. Denya had this same thing about 5 years ago, so I was pretty sure Britta would need surgery also. I am surprised the girls went to a surgery center and had general anesthesia for such a small bump. One of the staff told me there are a lot of nerves in our feet and it's really painful to have procedures done on your feet. That made sense when I thought about how much it hurts when you stub your toe. Plus they said the doctor goes pretty deep to try and make sure they get it all. So here is Britta, prepped and ready to go.
It took about 30 minutes and then she was done! The nurses gave her apple juice and graham crackers. Britta was a little loopy and very happy. She kept saying it was the best apple juice she had ever had. She also raved about some nurse with dark hair. It was quite funny.

What a big bandage for a little incision!! Plus she has to wear a boot for a couple of weeks and can't get it wet.
She even got a wheelchair ride to the car!!
Britta needs to keep her foot elevated today and spent most of the day on the couch. She got up for a few minutes to get something to eat and a drink and when she came back, this is what she found. Cute Dagny pretending to be Britta! How adorable!
