surgery is a little more than 12 hours away

[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.





I want everything in here but the dead deer plaques by the windows

That is absolutely gorgeous. I want it all, too, and I'll even take the dead deer plaques, 'cause I can give them to my brother.

And I'm getting my kicking boots on. I mean, what good are you if you can't cook for me? I know you can't cook one-handed.

Actually, I'm not sure you can talk one-handed.

YOU WILL GET BETTER.

It will be a breeze, you will be delighted with the results and that's what moms are for, stealth cleaning. Think positive!

Best wishes for all of you.

I predict that you'll hurt for a month, but you'll do fine otherwise. And having them fix the bicep is better than living the rest of your life in pain, because that will never heal on its own. Hang tough. You will get through this, and possibly more quickly than you think.

Good luck on your surgery, Dana. And with your mother…

Let us know what’s happening when you can!

*huggles* You are going to be fine...it'll be a struggle for a little bit...but it will be worth the initial pain and therapy.

Even if you cannot talk with us, perhaps you could check your email from time to time? All of us could send you emails, about our day...funny stories and pictures. That way you would still be connected and will know we all care very much.
