THIS IS DR. GARY RIDGE.
HE IS "FOOT DOCTOR TO THE STARS!"
WELL, MY MOM AND I.
I HAVE BEEN GOING TO HIM SINCE 2000.
MY MOM, ABOUT 25 YEARS.
I HAVE GONE TO HIM EVERY 9 WEEKS FOR 14 YEARS.
HE IS THE ONE THAT DIAGNOSED ME WITH DIABETES
BY LOOKING AT A SORE ON MY FOOT.
I HAD SURGERY IN 2007 ON MY TENDONS.
WHEN HE CAME TO SEE ME BEFORE THE SURGERY, HE
SAID HE HAD PRAYED FOR ME, AND HIM!
BOY, CAN HE MAKE A STRAIGHT SCAR!!!
I HAD BLISTERS FROM NYC.
HE'S GIVEN MY SHOTS IN MY TOES, THAT YOU CAN'T FEEL!
MY NEUROPATHY DIAGNOSIS WAS ALSO HARD, BUT
HE HAS REALLY HELPED ME WITH IT!!!
MY NEUROPATHY DIAGNOSIS WAS ALSO HARD, BUT
HE HAS REALLY HELPED ME WITH IT!!!
WHEN MY TOES ON MY RIGHT FOOT BLISTERED DOWN
TO THE TISSUE FROM THE ROSE PARADE TRIP, I HAD
TO GO IN ONCE A WEEK FOR SKIN GRAFTS FOR 14 WEEKS!
(TAKEN FROM BABY BOY'S FORESKIN AFTER CIRCUMCISION.)
AND THEN OF COURSE, THE CHARCOT FOOT!
WHEN YOUR DOCTOR HAS TEARS RUNNING DOWN HIS CHEEKS
AS HE TELLS YOU ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS, YOU KNOW HE
REALLY LOVES AND CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS!
HE ALSO WROTE THE WONDERFUL LETTER FOR ME,
LEADING TO MY RETIREMENT!!!
DR. RIDGE IS 68. HE SAID HE HAS MISSED EVERYTHING
IN HIS KIDS AND GRANDKIDS LIVES BECAUSE OF
WORK AND CHURCH CALLINGS.
HE WAS A BISHOP, COUNSELOR IN STAKE PRESIDENCY
AND STAKE PRESIDENT.
THEY WANT TO SERVE A MISSION, BUT FOR NOW,
HE'S JUST HAPPY TO BE A
"STAY AT HOME GRANDPA!"
DR. RIDGE LOVES GOLF AND LOVES BYU.
WHAT MORE FITTING GIFT FOR HIM THAN
BYU GOLFBALLS?!
