Surgery Date is Set

Okay, Nov. 4 is my penciled in surgery date.  I see the blood doctor next week and go back for one more infusion and then I am ready. I have to tell you guys...I'm not really keen on this but the pain is now constant and nothing helps. The knee guy said, I knew you would come to your senses. No one should suffer like this.  yep...that's what he said.  

Oh Jeannie:

I am excited for you but dread my own when the time comes. I see my surgeon in six months and need to lose another 30 pounds before he will do it...also, the fact that I had cellulitis in both legs (toes to groin) makes him hesitate...me too, to be honest. I greatly admire your courage. Yes, I agree this pain is truly nasty but I am also a weenie when it comes to surgery.

I send you much loving and positive energy & prayer for a successful surgery.  *hugs*

I totally agree with your doctor...I just can't see you suffering like this. Thank goodness we have pain meds, BUT they are not intended for lifetime use. Tell him to lop off some sags and bags while you are asleep! I'd sure love to get rid of some of that crap, but one of those surgeries would lead to five more....

Jeannie,

Thats good you have a surgery date.  I will keep you in my thoughts.

Good luck. It would be tough for you for a while after...as busy as you are - and like staying busy... But it needs to be done. Hugs and good luck
