It's been raining off and on since Thursday, so my joints, my bones, and the titanium, have just been in pure agony.
In yesterday's mail, I got a letter from Cindy, my surgeon's nurse, and in it were all of the surgery dates.
My surgery pre-op testing will be on June 10th at 9:30am, and my surgery will be on June 29th, and I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am.
It's all scheduled, so it's on whether I'm mentally ready for it or not.
The bathroom undermount sink has been driving me crazy!
It's been leaking, and clogging up all weekend, I have got to get that fixed soon.
It started clogging up last night, and when I went to plunge it, I felt some water hitting my feet.
I know that I didn't splash any out of the sink, so I opened the doors and saw that there's a link in the pipes.
Great, just great.
What was a simple project to replace just the faucet, is now going to have to be handled by the landlord, and the whole thing is going to have to be fixed.








I'm having plumbing problems now, too. They suck! Our house has smelled like a sewer for the past two days (no joke!), but there is no leak anywhere! We did have a clogged sink drain, and I took care of that. Hopefully this smell goes away soon. I hope you get your sink fixed soon!
Like you said, it's going to happen ready or not. I hope that you can get prepared mentally for it. Your boys are older and you have things better organized now. Wish I lived closer.
I usually snap into it about 2 weeks before the surgery, like I suddenly just get it all worked out in my head, get a positive mood and thoughts going, and I stay that way.
I've got about a month to go, so I will get mentally ready pretty soon, just very emotional right now.
The boys are really great, they have been through this with me twice now, they know what to do and how to help me etc, they rock my socks with how much they help me.
I know we live far apart, but maybe just 1 time you could come down and visit for just 1 day when I get home?
I know not the best circumstances to "meet" someone, but it would still be nice to finally meet you and having visitors always cheers me up and gives me a reason to get out of bed like my doc says to do a couple of times per day.
It's totally up to you though, I don't want you to feel like you HAVE to come visit me, I know that you have a lot of your own health problems to deal with, so I totally understand how a long road trip makes you feel.
Heck, Mark's graduation is 4 hours long and I am going to have to call the arena where they are holding it and ask what kind of handicapped seating they have because I don't think I can sit in a metal chair from 9am to 1pm without wanting to stab myself in the jugular.
I'm going to have to bring a mountain of pain pills with me. hahaha
But Connie, I appreciate that you even took the time to say you wished you lived closer, it's a very caring thing to say.
