cornerofmadness

thanks for the well wishes. mom is here (and complaining naturally. I'm going to ban her from cleaning anything if she doesn't stop).

Am I worried? Only a little. I trust the surgeon. I am worried more about pain management afterward since I'm not allowed NSAIDS (as if I could take them). Narcotics make me vomit and I'm afraid of undoing everything because of that.

I'm worried that they will have to do the tendondesis of the biceps because that is major (and open work, not arthroscope). I'm worried about dealing with things by myself with one arm.

I'm worried about diabetes and infection and the very long physical therapy requirements. It's overwhelming to realize that I'll still be in therapy most likely when we're wrapping Christmas gifts.

I don't know if i'll be back online any time soon. If I think not, I'll be back one handed to type up that notice.

I'll be in the hospital overnight supposedly

All I can do is make sure I don't wimp out of my PT so that in 6 months i WILL be better because I need to believe that this surgery will work.

maybe in a few days sitting around recuperating (or killing my mother cause she's touching my stuff) I'll have time to read some fanfic for a change. link me up to stuff I've missed.
