I had a toe on each foot straightened and bone spurs removed. In my case, the stress on the hammertoes got to the point that they spasmed whenever I took weight off my feet. I lost the genetic lottery and got my father's feet, which kept him out of WWII.
The most painful thing post-surgery was driving, particularly a stick shift, and getting to my third floor office on a building without elevators. I found that was easier if I gave up entirely on dignity. I was back at work in five days, but that's because I'm insane. I rolled around in my desk chair a lot.
My surgeries involved breaking and setting many bones. I was off work for six weeks. I told my boss's boss I could come back sooner, and she shrugged and said, "Why? You can get short-term disability; take it," so I did.

Vegetable roasting question:
I have sucessfully roasted brussel sprouts, but now I have some cauliflower and tiny potatoes. How long should they be roasted and at the same temperature?
I did not get the job I interviewed for on Friday.
Last time I roasted cauliflower, I cut the head into eighths and roasted at 475 for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Came out great. Depending on the size of the potatoes, that might work for them to, maybe cutting them in half?
I'm sorry to hear that, msbelle.
I'm also sorry to hear that Powell's is laying people off. I love that place.
I think potatoes would need longer than that.
The next one will be better msbelle. The fact that they missed your awesomeness means they are stupidheads.
Last night Iron Maiden were awarded a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for the song El Dorado from the new album The Final Frontier.
