canyonwalkerHawk had her 6 week, and it turns out final, followup today with the doctor. It was a followup from her foot surgery in late January, aka Foot Surgery II: The Other Foot. The doctor collected new x-rays and quickly assigned her an A+ grade. "There's no need for you to see me again," he said. A moment later he added, "I mean, unless you want to." 🤣
The recovery from this surgery has gone better than the first one. After the first one, she got an infection in her foot, and a substitute doctor removed her stitches too early (and missed the signs of infection). That sub should've stuck to showing the class a film instead of trying to teach the subject. As a result it wasn't until week 10 the first time around that she was told her foot has healed well enough to walk in normal shoes.
We expected a passing grade today, but Hawk getting an A+ felt extra good. When I say we anticipated a passing grade I mean... by planning a trip out of town starting later today!
We're taking our first trip together since Thanksgiving. We'll be driving south to the lower edge of Central California, really kind of the northern edge of Southern California at points, to see the spring wildflower bloom at Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve and the Carrizo Plain National Monument.
