Bill's leg

Bill will be having surgery on Monday to remove a ganglion cyst from his left leg. They will have to open him up about two inches, but it should be an outpatient procedure with a couple of days of keeping his leg up. However, removing the cyst will not automatically restore the nerve. The paroneal nerve has sustained damage, and the doctor said it could take up to six months for it to heal completely and give Bill the full use of his leg/foot. So Bill is wearing a brace/support to keep his foot stable right now and will continue to do so until the nerve heals.

We appreciate your prayers for him. Also, the insurance company is doing all they can to prove this is pre-existing and not have to cover anything. So we'd really appreciate your prayers regarding that - especially since this process has been completely innefficient, racking up bills that weren't necessary in the first place.
