Armpit of the world....Al Asad, Iraq
Well, I'll be off of the computer for a few days.
I'm having surgery tomorrow on my foot.

I jacked it up while in Iraq the last time. (Too many doors kicked in and running around!) I tried to put it off until after I get back from this deployment but I injured my foot last month and the pain just progressed to a point to where I need to have it fixed.

It's minor, just having my toe realigned and fused.
Sounds worse than it is.

It does, however, set my departure time back a month. So I won't be going to Iraq until Nov now. Which is cool. This way I'll be here for my daughter's first birthday.

Once I'm able to come back downstairs to use the computer, I'll let you all know how I'm doing.

Semper Fi!

Hope all goes well for you and a speedy recovery.

How exactly are you going to go 2 days without a stogie? :D
 
Good luck man.

Make sure you keep your lighter, an ashtray, and plenty of stogies by your side post-op so you don't have to put pressure on your foot going to get them 8)

Just remember when you're up to it, you and I have some cigars to kill :wink:
 
Good Luck big guy! Watch Monty while you're in the rack! Nothing like a good laugh when you're a bit down. My Prayers are with you! Glad you'll be home for that first Birthday as well! 8)
 
I'm glad to hear that you'll be with your daughter on her first birthday. That's beautiful!

Hope your foot heals quickly.
 
I like the way you "recently" reinjured your foot, which sets beack your re-deployment.....
NICE!
I for one, don't mind if you stay safe in the U.S. for a little longer...
 
Good luck. My father was a Marine Corps Captain during WWII. We had a lot of good laughs when I would tell him that the only good marine was a submarine--my first career.
 
Jeff, you take it easy and get better - we will all still be here when you get back!
