Is it Really Friday?
In and out of the hospital is becoming a drag. I finished my last iron infusion and the lab work came back that my iron is good, my blood count is low but acceptable for surgery, but my electrolytes were all out of whack so into the hospital I went for some IV sodium, potassium and calcium. I am about ready to start telling the doctors no more lab....
I am home for the next few days but Monday will be surgery day and by five Monday afternoon, I'll have a new knee.
I ate oatmeal for breakfast and will have shrimp for lunch and trout for dinner. All the vegetables that I eat will be green....I am not risking any setbacks for this knee deal. LOL
The other day, I was walking in the hospital corridor and they have this huge mirror, and I looked at it as I was walking and I saw a woman walking and I thought, damn, her leg must be messed up and then I saw my husband put his hand on her back and I thought, damn, I have a kind husband, but I felt something on my back and looked and it was my husband...how was he able to leave that old crippled woman and put his hand on my back so quickly...yep, I was feeling sorry for the my own reflection. I tried to walk more normal, but it just wasn't going to happen. But soon...if all goes well, my legs will work again. Yeah!
