I learned yesterday that I broke my foot in Namibia in February.
My Podiatrist recommended surgery to install a steel rod and screws to stabilize the affected areas. I hate to even think about the procedure he described.

5. Get a second opinion
It's always a good idea, especially where surgery is concerned.
