Surgical Updates
Surgery is next Tuesday morning 9:00 A.M. at the Nix Hospital downtown.
If anyone wants to come visit me, the hospital is on Navarro. It's best to park either in the lot at the corner of Commerce & Navarro or in the garage on College & Navarro. There is valet parking at the hospital as well, but I imagine it's pricey.
The 1st floor of the building has an information desk and the main floor of the hospital is on the 17th floor. I should be spending most of my time between the 17th & 18th floors, if my memory serves me at all.
Aetna has approved me for the surgery and 2 nights in the hospital. I'll probably only be staying one, unless there are complications or I can't manage my pain very well.
My short-term disability claim with Unum is still pending.
I will return to work on or after November 4th. Dr. Evans is "forcing" me to take all 12 weeks of the short-term disability leave I'm granted.
I'm trying to tell myself it's a vacation. It's not working.
I'm a nervous wreck. The uncertainty of the unknown and the fear of (very real) pain are almost crippling. It will be a miracle if I can make it through the next 4 days of work without snapping. Then I'll have one last day of complete freedom, followed by one last day of work and then it's slice & dice time. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
