Yup, the clock is ticking...just really realized that my surgery is on 12/10...and it is almost Deceraber. YIKES. I have to go on Wed. for my pre op with my Dr., and if they need any further tests for anything, they will be done on Wed. I think I am afraid. Actually, it is way beyond fear....I can't allow myself to think of this new SI joint surgery....once was enough...and now having to go in again for a revision is just too much.
I have been running around doing my Christmas shopping/wrapping etc....and we are having the master bath redone so that I can use the shower without help...which will be nice...can't have my poor husband pushing the shower chair in and out of the shower...too much for his poor old back... Asked the contractor to have the b/r done no later than 12/8. have to clean and restore it to normal....as well as clean the rest of the house....toooooo much to do.... oh wel...it will get done....
Hope you all had a wonderful turkey day....our leftovers are all gone...they were good though! Take care..

Sage, we'll be thinking of you! My SI joint fusion is this Wednesday, so we can compare notes afterwarRAB.

Take care & don't be nervous as better times lay ahead.
 
oh I do wish you the best....are they using the new system (roRAB) or the old one with cages roRAB screws and stuff?? I hope you have a wonderful recovery...just think, a valid excuse to spend the next 3 months basically in bed....wow....it does grow tiresome...but is very necessary for you to heal...hugs to you....and only good thoughts....

Sage
 
wishing you both great luck! can't wait to hear your report. my dad goes in for L2-5 fusion on 12/16!
 
Sorry I missed getting my good luck wishes out to Brenda because I am sure she has already signed off but if not-good luck.

Sage still thinking of you and wishing you also the best of luck with this surgery. Take care and when you are up to it let us know how you are doing.

Gentle Hugs

aw thanks for the good wishes....Manchak...hope your Dad does well...it's a bit hard the first few days...that's where the help comes in handy!! Will send Brenda gentle hugs and good thoughts anyway...for a good result and fast recovery....even if fast is months in the making! Have a good day all..

Well, Sage, I was supposed to have surgery today but instead I'm sitting at home with a nasty cold. My surgery is rescheduled to Jan. 4. Uhggg.
 
oh no Brenda...after all of your preparation.....and the worry...and now it is another month..... I'm sorry you are suffering so with a cold...they can be awful this time of year.

I went for my preop visit today....waiting, waiting, waiting....we got there at 10....for a 10:15....and didn't see the Dr. before noon...I think.... and the worst part...no appt. was made for us to go over to the hospital to see what kind of preop tests I need and of course pay the deductible.....so we have to drive almost 70 miles each way again on Fri.....and I have to cancel a hairdresser appt.... Dr. didn't seem too impressed that I have things to do...he just wanted to know if I had appts....right after the 8 week mark...told him no....that is what I have been doing now...so I will be free later on. ugggggggggggggg. I asked if a little something could be waiting for me when I get to the check in...next Thurs..... he said if I am that afraid maybe I should cancel the surgery.... No I am not that afraid...just know that I will be very, very nervous..... (well maybe a bit afraid too...).... I guess my time is just not that important.... Right now, I am making a huge pot of home made chicken rice soup....then I'll freeze it into 2 portion containers....then I'll make brown meat and gravey to freeze....then I'll make stew tomorrow....these will be easy meals for my husband to serve. I'll make a couple of meatloafs, and then I've been thinking of making meatballs and sauce.... Don't want the poor guy having to work...he just had disectomy for the second time two weeks ago...want him sitting to heal also.
Well, I am sorry this is not over for you, yet....but look at it this way...you'll be up and about for the holidays...that is the one thing I am sorry I won't be able to do much for...(I did my shopping already)...but having people over etc. Take care...hope you feel better.
