I have been cleared for surgery. Wednesday at 2 P.M. they will operate and add metal plates and screws to my foot. I have had very little pain considering I have a broken bone. I suspect that will all change Wednesday. I have to admit, I am a major chicken. And baby. As in whiny, pitiful baby. The very idea of metal plates and screws makes me cringe.
Nothing to eat or drink all day either. Blech.
Hopefully I will be in a bit better frame of mind the next day. The worst will be behind me and I will be enthroned on the couch where I shall remain with foot elevated for three days. I am hoping for very good pain meds. And ice cream. I am already stocked up. There are two gallons of Breyers Waffle Cone ice cream in the freezer. My kindle is stocked up too. I plan to sleep, eat, and read. Aside from the whole plate and screws part, sounds like a vacation 🙂
Oh, gosh, sure hope all went well. Enjoy that ice cream and your well-stocked Kindle. Here’s hoping you are back to dancing form very soon.
Thanks Anne. The surgery went okay – he had to use a little more metal than first expected so I may have a little more time without putting weight on it to make sure all heals well. It has not been the most fun thing I have ever done but I’m getting a little better each day.
