I'm being suabatoged....

I feel like I've had nothing but trouble moving toward this surgery, scheduled for June 26, just a little over three weeks away. I've had sleep study problems, and after weeks and weeks of struggling with them, I was scheduled for my second study this coming Friday night. What a relief. They fitted me for my machine, so I figured by the week of the 11th I would be using the machine, and that was okay with the surgeon's office. Great, huh? Well, I broke my foot last night. I am so frustrated and discouraged and, well, pissed. I can't even imagine having surgery in three weeks when I can't even walk, and that's a huge part of this surgery, isn't it? I see an orthopedist this week to find out how bad it is, and I guess my hope is that I'll be in a walking cast very, very soon. Oh, and did I mention how hard it is to drag almost 300 pounds around on crutches? I'm going to go cry now. Thanks for listening.

Jenn, this too shall pass and you will have your surgery. I was just thinking today while I was on my walk that wouldn't it just suck if I fell down and broke my leg - I am so sorry it has happened to you! I am having surgery on Monday and my problem is that for the past 2 days my sciatica has been horrible and Tylenol just isn't working. I used to take Advil, but that is a thing of the past. So I just decided to do what I could do and push through the pain. Leave it in God's hands and I am sure it will turn out OK. I hope you are able to have your surgery when scheduled!

Suabatoged??? Good Lord, the Vicoden is speaking, huh? Thanks for your reply. My daughter and I had just started walking this week, and we were really enjoying it. Now it's a struggle just to get to the bathroom! Huh.

I don't know if this will make you feel better, Jenn, but there was a woman on the Ontario board that had just the same thing happen to her! She had to reschedule for a month later (of course a major bummer) but just had her surgery and is doing well. Try not to dwell too much! Everything happens for a good reason and I'm sure your turn is just around the corner! Best of luck, Alison

I'm so sorry to hear of your accident, that really sucks. I can imagine how disappointed I would be if I had to postpone my surgery, so I can empathize with you. Having been the broken foot route, I know that feet can be tricky to heal and take a while, but hang in there, this too shall pass. Keep your chin up and keep plodding forward, albeit slowly and on crutches! Bon

Oh, Jenn How totally frustrating. I asked my nurse the other day if my surgeon could abstain from softball incase he breaks a finger LOL I can imagine how upset you must be, but the big picture is the important thing. You'll get there, sweetie
