I have a date in the Operating Room.
August 20, 2007
I just received the call from the hospital scheduler, and I am first in the Operating Room tomorrow morning. I have chosen not to do a local anaesthesia instead choosing a regional anaesthesia. I guess that involves seven shots in the arm pit to nerve block off everything, and I’ll be awake during the two hour operation. The doctors told me I wont be able to make any legal decisions for 24 hours afterwards, so I guess I’ll just be taking it easy. I have never had surgery before so I am blind going into the recuperation period.
I think the most annoying thing about everything is having my hand and wrist immobilized in a cast for a few weeks afterwards - talk about putting a damper on my lifestyle. Yet, I am thankful for my overall health and know the issues with my hand and foot should resolve in due time.
I love cheese tortellini.
