One Step To The Left...

OK, my doc appointment wasn't a complete & total waste, although i felt that way when i left the office.  i guess the girl that booked me for the pre-op forgot to book me for the other part, which is the actual surgery date (DUH!!!).  what's the point of going for pre-op if there's no one to do the surgery, lol.

anyway, i guess the pre-op is only good for 28 days.  if they can't do your surgery in that time you have to go back in for another pre-op, but good ole DEBORAH (not my favorite deb, the office deb-YUCK) did manage to fit me in at the end of march even though i did NOT leave her my $280 hand bag that was a gift from my favorite cousin deb.  can you imagine, she actually said, in all seriousness, that if i wanted to make sure that i got a surgery date on time i would leave her the bag!!!  she wasn't kidding, although i did NOT leave her the bad and yes she did make the date, although she would have been happier if i left her the freaking bag (the nerve of some people... geeze).

anyway, it's a bit more than i was anticipating which kind of pisses me off.  it's not likley to be a day surgery, which i'm NOT happy about, although at least i don't smoke any longer so i won't be having nic. fits, lol.  but i HATE staying in the hospital any longer than necessary as most folks get whatever horrible staph infections or whatever FROM the hospital!!!!  i heal much better at home anyway.

they're putting me all the way out, which also sucks since the last time my freaking lung collapsed, but again, i'm not smoking any longer os that's a plus.

after they remove the units (2) from my spine & the hockey puck type gadgets that turn them on and off out of both of my butt cheeks (LOL) then at least i'll be able to get an MRI and see more of what's going on with my back, which is a good thing.

unfortunetly, again, they won't be doing the surgery till between 1pm and 3pm on the 27th of march which i guess is a thursday.  i jut hope that taking it out of my spine isn't going to screw up the muscles againlike the other times :(

ok, enough... just wanted to kind of write about it before i forgot.  i have mixed feelings... i know i can't turn them on, but having them out is like giving up.  it's like i failed!!!!  my body failed me AGAIN!!! 

oh well...

till the next time...........

  Well hey there, good to see that it's business as usual, lol. Nothing's ever easy, right? I'd have left "Deb" a bag of cement!
  
  Hope everything goes well. I know for sure that you're still slugging it out, and no, you didn't fail. You just haven't finished succeeding yet! Be well
