So the countdown to surgery has already been going for the past few days. For those that may not be up to date and thinking SURGERY?!?! I have a torn tendon in my shoulder so they are going to have to fix it so it will heal. If you want more details about what happened look at my blog post "That must have hurt" and the whole story is there.
So this week I have been trying to get everything ready. I have my whole house clean(which if you know me, that is saying something)! I have a basket made up that has everything that I might need during the recovery time, like band-aids, non-stick pads, headbands, gum, you get the idea.
I have also practiced trying to do things with one arm. This has been an adventure! I tried for 1 hr to try to figure out how to pull my hair up in a ponytail with one hand and a normal ponytail holder...lets just say nothing has been figured out on that one. I have also practiced different positions to lay in at night to try to keep that arm still, and I think I have made some good discoveries.
So now it is just the waiting game for Monday. One thing that I need to stop doing is watching people have this surgery done on YouTube. I think that I have watched it enough that I could successfully do this surgery on someone else. It also just make me a bit nauseous seeing the skin being tugged and pulled like they do. I have never been squeamish watching surgeries or gross procedures online, but this one is getting me.
I am just waiting to see what it is going to be like after surgery. I have had many people say they are going to be there to help, and meals are in the process of being planned. I just don't want people to get tired with helping since this is going a very long process of healing. I just hate feeling like I have to be dependent on others, and that I know they have better things to be doing then taking care of me.
Ok well I am going to go. I will leave you with some pictures of friends and me hanging out. Thank you for reading and keeping up with my crazy life.
