Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm scheduled for surgery this next Monday. The time hasn't been set as yet, but the appointment is solid, it will be done.
That is unless there's something haywire with my pre-op tests.
The orthopedic is gonna take off about the top third of my left large toe as there's a bone calcification in and on the joint, as well as arthritis, which causes a great deal of pain.
It often hurts more than my back does.
I will be off my feet for at least a week with this one and hopefully will be able to get back to working out the 2nd week, but time will tell.
Then I'm scheduled to see my neurosurgeon on March 13th, or thereabouts, to see about getting my sacroliliac fused.
My pain management doc says this should cut down a lot on the back pain I have.
I've done some research on this and haven't quite made up my mind about having it as it's a whole lot more serious than I first thought with a really large incision having to be made.
And if the doc wants to go through the front to fuse it from the inside he can forget I ever showed up!!!!
I will probably be down at least a couple of weeks with this one until I'm allowed to do much of anything.
At least I've got my Barbie, my friends, my computer and lots of good books to catch up on.
So if y'all can take the time to offer up some prayers or smoke or whatever for me it will be much appreciated.
