Wayne's Foot is Healed

On October 8 Wayne was released from his orthopedic surgeon with a well healed foot. He still has the plate and screws in the foot. They will remain there unless they cause him discomfort in the future. He talked to his boss at work the week before and asked when he should plan to return to work. With the economy the way it is, the boss said "Prepare for lay-off instead of returning to work." So October 9 was Wayne's first day of lay-off for the 2008-2009 winter season. He's been continually busy since then with fall harvest and preparing the farm for winter. He's loving the situation and not complaining at all. This pre-retirement stuff is very good.
