My, how time flies when you're . . . well mostly, I've been laying in a bed or sitting in a wheelchair, staying off my injured ankle and hoping it would heal on its own. That hasn't happened, so it's operation time.
I will be getting orthopedic ankle surgery tomorrow morning at Seton Hays Hospital. It's a day surgery, which means I show up really early, they operate, and then I'm sent home that afternoon. This tends to make me think this surgery is not a big deal, but I also know that all surgery is, one way or another, a big deal. So I'm a little nervous (also, anxious and trepidatious).
Post surgery, they tell me I'm looking at another 4-6 weeks recovery time doing pretty much exactly what I've been doing all this time already. The only difference will be that with a couple little metal plates screwed into my fibula and some other ankle parts put back in their proper place, it really will heal this time.
Theoretically.
I'll log on later this week and let you know how it all went. Send whatever psychic, karmic, emotional, or spiritual good vibes you care to. Thanks.
