Your turn left leg...

Tomorrow I'm heading back into surgery. They have to fix my left leg now. I'm NOT excited to go but I keep telling myself that it will make it feel better in the long run. I'm glad I did my right leg first because I'll have to drive myself over! And hopefully after the next two weeks I'll never have to see compression hose again!!!
