30 in 30 - part 9
Something that makes me sad:
It might sound silly, but I am sad that I am not having foot surgery tomorrow. Apparently, the dr's office failed to schedule it. So when I went in for what I thought was me pre-op appointment yesterday, the doctor asked if I'd like to proceed with plans for surgery. And I got confused, and totally annoyed.
Me: "Umm, isn't that why I'm here? I'm scheduled for surgery on Thursday."
Dr C: "Hmm. I don't think I have any surgeries scheduled for Thursday."
Me: "Well, I guess that would explain why I didn't get the stuff in the mail that your receptionist said I'd have by the end of last week."
Dr C: "I don't think we can process all the paperwork in time to get you into surgery this week. We could do next week, for sure."
Me: "Yeah, I have a trip planned to Portland two weeks from tomorrow. I can handle a trip two weeks post-surgery, but not one."
Grr.
So, I'm scheduled to go in on Thursday, February 17th. Why does this make me sad? Well, I really want to get back on the road. Running. And I really was looking forward to a race in Spokane on May 1. And putting this surgery off for another three weeks just doesn't leave me feeling optimistic that I'll even be ready for walking that race.
Who knows.
Grr.
Oh well. I won't be gimpy for my Portland trip, which is good. Right?
