What are you waiting for?
Well its very early on June 18th like 2 in the morning and I can not sleep what so ever... I am having surgery this morning at like 11 am and they are goin to do a flap graft to close the sore thats on my thigh.. I have been told this is a pretty routine surgery so I dont have much to worry about except for if it gets infected after it then that is a huge deal and a big worry ,but i'm not tryin to worry myself to death and worry and stress myself out unless it happens.. Cuz if i stress myself out it will cause me not to heal as well and as fast as I should.. But after today I will be here for about another month if not a little longer.. After this surgery I will have to lay on my left side or my stomach for a good 3 weeks straight to keep all pressure off my right leg so theres very little chance of it getting infected.. Then after the 3rd week the doctor said that he will let me start to sit up a little bit.. Then after the 4th week then he will let me sit up again ,but he wants to make sure the staples/stitches whatever he uses are completely healed up before i start putting pressure on my leg again and start using it.. Then.. They will do a pressure maping on my wheelchair seat to where they are goin to do a graft type thing on my wheelchair and they just hook a cord up to it and it points out the pressure points to where i'm sitting to make sure there wont be any major pressure points so nothing else can open up after the surgery is over and done with... then they said it shouldnt be long after that then they will probably be sending me to a nursing home for a few weeks to make sure i'm healed up before sending me home.. But then I will finally be able to go back home to my apartment!!! For my surgery my mom will be here and what i'm kinda lookin forward to is that my father is coming up from Tennessee for this surgery and I have not seen my father since 2006 so even though he will not be here till Friday afternoon/early evening it will still be a good thing to get to see him.. Even if i'm in a ton of pain which they think I will be in a ton of pain since I am already in so much pain as it is.. and yesterday June 17th I took my morning meds and my morning pain meds that I always take before my dressing changes like a half hour before like normal and then I was sitting there... Then about a half hour later all of a sudden I got very nautious and i was sitting there and then I felt like I was going to throw up.. So, the garbage was right next to my bed thank goodness cuz i all of a sudden leaned over into the garbage and I was so nautious and light headed and then I did end up throwing up.. I didnt throw up very much ,but it was enough to make you wonder.. They think that most of the pain meds stayed in my system since they had been in me already for just about an hour as it was.. Then I got to get my iv pain meds so I made it through my dressing change ok ,but it was the point that I felt like crap and I was actually sick just the 1 time ,but still... and I was all nautious and woozy all day and i even had some zofran in my system and I had all 8 cc's of it that I could take and I was still like that all day... Anyways... I have surgery this morning at around 11 am central time to do a skin flap... they are goin to take skin and tissue from the front of my leg and move it to the back of my leg.. I have been told this surgery is a routine surgery so I am not tryin to worry myself to death over this cuz I have faith that everything will go good after it.. Anywyays, I will be down for a little bit ,but I will update everyone as soon as I am at least feelin up to it... Please keep me in all of ur thoughts and prayers still... Thank you everyone who has been there for me and who has supported me and been there for me through all of this especially my wonderful loving caring boyfriend Jimmy!! Love u hun... I want to also thank my friends that have been there for me through all of this.... When I am feelin up to it I will write a quick little update sometime after surgery so everyone knows how it all went and whats going on... Well, that is all for now ,but I will keep everyone updated! ~ASH~
