Hey look I'm not Dead!!
Wow I so suck at posting here, don't I? Once again I do post fairly regularly on Facebook so feel free to find me there (Shannon Prano). Just remember I don't discuss fandom or Fic there.
Anyway, that's not why I'm posting now. I just wanted to drop in to let you all know I'm having A Spinal Fusion done on Wednesday. I hadn't said anything before because I was waiting until I was positive it was happening this time. I have a different surgeon who, I think, is more skilled at dealing with medicaid and disability and he was able to get it covered. Although either way I was having surgery because he agreed to do the other surgery if necessary.
It's come down to absolutely needing to have something done now. In the last few months I've had more than a few days that my mom has had to help me get out of bed because I couldn't straighten my body into an upright position. I can't stay standing without leaning on something for more than a minute or two. When I have to go into stores I'm literally sweating so badly my hair looks like I just came in from the rain and since I'm not having a panic attack the consensus is it's from the pain. So yeah, surgery is no longer just an option, it's a necessity.
The surgery is on Wednesday, barring any complications I'll be home sometime Thursday. I'll then be mostly confined to the house for thirty days. Although that may get cut a tiny bit short I'd I feel able to go see Age of Ultron on May 1, but our local theater is close. Has assigned seating, and recliners that leave tons of space to let people walk past you without bumping you so it shouldn't be a problem that close to the thirty days.
I will do my best to let velvetwhip know how the surgery went either by email or text on Wednesday so she can keep anyone updated that wants to know what's happening...well I haven't asked her yet but I'm sure she won't mind, :)
If I'm up to it I may post but I wouldn't count on it before the weekend. Again though, I'll probably post to Facebook on Thursday so you can always check there I'm public.
