Today marks the last stress-free weekend before the big surgery. After two years of putting it off, I'm scheduled for spinal fusion of my L4/L5 on Monday, May 10th. I figure I may need a record of what goes on the next few weeks for my own records, so here goes!
In all ways, I am so ready for this. And the pain and pressure are worse each day, so I am always so glad when I am in pain now that I have a hope of relief one day. At this point, I rest fairly comfortably in our recliners and on my side in bed. Shopping is still hard - I feel pain before I get to the front door and any shopping after ten minutes is SO hard. I drag my feet while hanging on the cart and feel more and more pressure pushing down on my spine and legs. These are the times I am dying to have that surgery!
I'm due to be at the hospital at 5:45am on the morning of surgery. It'll be interesting to see how much sleep I get that night :)....
