Well not to sure about Aug 2 now. Talk to Doctors office today and they want to do surgery on July 29. So as long as I am not in a cast I can drive up and just hang out in a chair all day. If I am in a cast My cruise days are screwed. Even for moose preserve cause they already scheduled my follow up appointment for the friday before woodward. I am thinking though that I won't be in a cast. last time I had this done,from a different doctor, on the other foot they did a follow up appointment less than a week from surgery to take cast off clean and recast. Have to go to his office later today so can see if I can find anything out
