How are you today?

[Rainbowmum]

Starting to get a wee bit nervous with the upcoming 5th Dec surgery. I'm looking forward to it but still can't help to feel a bit nervous.

My surgeon told me that I will have to stay in the hospital for 4 - 5 days. The actual duration will depend on how my body reacts from the 7-hour surgery. But it will take one whole month to fully recover from the surgery.

The sucky part is that I am not allowed to run for a month. I'm only allowed to do light weight lifting on the third week. But I have to keep my body moving from day 1 after surgery to avoid blood clots. Yay. Time to prove to myself that I was born to be a badas* again.

Originally I've been given a one-month off without salary from my boss. But there's been a change of plan. I'm just going to take one week off instead. I don't think I can stay at home for one month 24/7. It will drive me nuts.

Bought an Iphone so I can 'tether' my WiFi Ipad. Crucial as I'll be in a noisy and boring ward for almost a week. Cramping my Touch to the max with music. Going to disturb all of my friends via Skype whilst I'm in the hospital.

Once I have fully recovered, I'm off to the second surgery. And then third. I hope I can settle all surgeries before mid 2012.

Then off to the actual full recovery.

Sending you hugs of courage and praying for you.
