......If the other Dr. that took care of my foor when I broke it in June said I will need surgery,I better pursue it with him...He interned with that Dr.and said if he says I need it;I better listen to him,cause this is something that will not go away on its own,or get better on its own....SO:November 3rd,I got an Appointment with the bone Dr.for consultation for hoof repair....Good thing is;the hospital where this is to be done is 12 miles from my house;his office is attatched right to the hospital...I understand it will be done out-patient-freeze it from the knee down;and take about 11/2 hours....A guy at work asked me if its possible,if I will watch it being done-I said "Of Course!!"
