The countdown has really begun, 3 more days until surgery! Wow, I just got some butterflies when I wrote THREE days. I have enough to keep me busy, though. It is finals week at school and I will be graduating on the 17th too! December marks the end of two huge journeys for me! My PBM journey and my long journey of going to school! Beyond excited!!!
I keep growing anxious about going under anesthesia for surgery; I have to think that I will have an EKG and my heart will be fine to live another day. Some things I am so pessimistic about. I also think that this surgery is similar to child birth. Giving birth is not fun, horribly painful, gross .. the whole 9 but this dreadful moment in your life you forget because of all of the positive that comes out of it. I remember the pain of last surgery but I am so excited to get this done that it isn't much of a concern. I know that the pain won't be nearly what it was and I am hoping that I will regain a lot of movement at a quicker pace. I know not to over do it, which is going to be difficult because of the holidays, but I will manage!
My other concern is an infection. I hope and pray that I do not get an infection again. I see my infectious disease Dr. tomorrow to go over my blood work to ensure there is no signs of infection. I am positive that it will all be alright but the frustration of that whole process will suck if I have to do it again. Send me happy thoughts, please!
I had to just get this out of my head - whew! lol
Until next time ...
Sooooooo happy for you!! :) Mines are settling well.... well sort of. I guess one of the sutures popped so the shape isn't perfect although the doctors and everyone else think they look great!, which is a good thing. I think they look good too but just not as perfect as I wanted.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you! This surgery is def. a piece of cake compare to what we went through before. I bet you'll be so happy to end this journey!! :D
Congrats on the graduation, too!! :)
