Well, tomorrow's the day. Today I'll get the house completely ready for my triumphant return when I might be walking with a walker and needing assistance to pee.
Today I'll go see the pdoc, because I'm still having that neurological symptom and even more besides. I had this one night a couple of nights ago when I couldn't stop moving my leg. It was like the urge to stretch or to yawn, that kind of feeling, and it just kept happening so I couldn't go to sleep even though I was incredibly tired. Finally I took a vicodin and got out the heating pad, and was able to sleep. Scary and complete torture, truth be told. It was horrid.
That was when the pdoc took me off most of my meds and put me on three full mgs of Ativan a day. Very stoned, am I. So anyway, he's the first appointment, this morning. Later on today I'll see the surgery nurse over at the hospital and bring a list of my meds and pay the huge deductible for the privilege of staying at their fine facility. I'll find out what time my surgery is, and pack the kids off to Manny's house for a month, and wake up tomorrow and go have my leg cut. Yikes. I keep telling myself, though, how much better it will be not to be in pain all the time. Sort of like it'll get intensely worse for a little while and then I'll come out the other side.
I'll be thinking good thoughts for you tomorrow!
