Staples

I have an appointment with my vascular surgeon at his office, 10:15 a.m., today (November 26, 2025), to remove the 96 metal staples in my legs (right leg: 70; left thigh: 16; left calf: 10).

On November 4, 2025, I had a six-hour-long surgery to remove a long vein within my right leg (about 3 feet long) to bypass an occluded (blocked) artery within my left leg. The blockage is/was three feet long. Basically, my right vein was reversed and put within my left leg to restore circulation.

On November 8, 2025, I had two of my toes amputated on my left foot (the third and fourth) due to the artery blockage.

I'm sorry to repost this photo again. I only repost it for context and because it's epic. 🙂
