Sorting through pictures from my cellphone and found a few good ones:
Before surgery, my wife and I agreed to give the doctors and nurses a bit of a laugh. (If you can’t laugh at your own amputation, whose can you laugh at?!) So, I chose a color from the vast selection that my wife brought in, and she painted the toenails of my right foot. While I don’t have any memory of actually being in the operating room (so I don’t know their reactions), I know the folks who gave me the spinal block found it hysterical and were sure to cover my foot back up so that the people in the OR could be surprised by it. :)
