My wrist surgery was originally scheduled for last Friday, but I got a call from my nurse a few days before and it was being postponed to Wednesday the 12th.. so.. tomorrow it is.
For those of you who don't know what is going on, I broke my wrist last March (my first ever seizure injury)) and then after the cast came off I was still in a lot of pain. The doctor finally did a scan and found out I had torn something as well and it wasn't healing. He said we would give it some time to heal and it should heal on it's own..
Well, it didn't heal, and in the process, another fracture showed up on an xray on my wrist. We aren't sure what caused this one, but with the icky state my wrist is in it's not unlikely that I fractured it along the way!
Anyway, I'm still in good spirits. Ready for tomorrow! I've seen several doctors at Tri-State Orthopedics Surgeons since my car accident (they switch me around because sometimes I'll need a specialist..) and for my wrist I ended up going from a regular Ortho to Dr. Johnson, who is a Hand and Microsurgery specialist.) I feel really confident that he will do his best and that everything will be okay after tomorrow. = )
I have to be at the hospital at 1:30 in the afternoon.. then go into surgery at 3:30. I shouldn't have to stay overnight but with my other medical problems we can't ever promise I'll be home that night.
I'm sure everything will be fine though! This is a super minor surgery and honestly the only thing I'm upset about is the fact that I'll be away from my beloved internet, hehe, and of course I will miss normal showers.. but soon enough I'll be back to normal. (err normal as this Kate ever is.)
I've been trying to deal with my depression a lot lately, and really the only place I ever share how down I am is here.. and I want you all to know I'm doing a lot better. I'm a little surprised that I'm not that down about tomorrow. I'm actually a little relieved that all the stuff with my wrist is going to be getting better.
