Man oh man... this is it. In approximately 1 hour I will be at Texas Orthopedic Hospital prepping for surgery. SO many people asked me if I was nervous and I dont mean to sound insensitive, but thats an obvious question dont you think?!? Of course I'm nervous! haha. I dont know if I'm more nervous about the actual surgery or about my post op situation. I'm confident in Dr. Gugenheim... but definately feeling ansy about the anesthesua. This guys are professionals I know, but still... you never know. No wait stop. Everything will be fine. I know God will be watching over me and hopefully having other people pray for me will be like a power up in which case I'm feeling confident. The 5 months of post op therapy in those atrocious braces will be a challenge though. Dr. G said I may only be able to pull about 3 inches from this surgery which was definately a let down since I was hoping for atleast 4, but you never know - miracles happen and maybe that 4th might squeeze out (i'm praying for it!). I talked to my dad about getting the 2nd surgery done, but he didn't sound too hopeful. Maybe if this one goes well... hopefully.
This kind of reminds me of drinking. I dont really like to drink I more of less just like to be drunk - so its all about the end result. Same with this. I really dont want to deal with all the mess in the middle - more or less just aiming for the end result. ha... that almost made sense.
Well I'm off - wish me luck!!
