12 novembre Fatigued but grateful For some reason, I'm just plain pooped today. I was up early, went to the grocery store to get the last of the shopping done for this weekend. Came home, put it all away and made a couple snacks for the party. Then I just wanted to sit down. Now I'd like a nap and I have a laundry list as long as my arm of things I want to get done today in preparation for Saturday. As I told Laura, today I am feeling every ounce of my weight and every day of my 46 years! I just wanna sit in my chair and knit! As I wrote to Laura, the following came out. Interesting. So I sat down while some things are in the oven and found your email. Thank you! Oh Laura, I don't know...is surgery overkill? Should I just live with the pain? Am I inviting more complications? There is no guarantee that surgery will relieve the pain.... Can I say if I'm comfortable with the decision? That's stretching it a bit. Do I like the Dr? Well, he's not warm & fuzzy but he seems arrogant and confident about what he does. Bottom line, I guess what is wearing so heavily on me is that *nobody* can make the decision for me. I can get pros and cons. I can get opinions. But, unlike when I had to have lower back surgery, this surgery is not mandatory. I do not have to have it to function. I am hoping for a better quality of life. The pain, the "fogginess" of pain meds, fatigue are all wearing on a daily basis. So, yes. I'm going thru with it and I am praying with all my might that if I'm not supposed to have this surgery, God will make that crystal clear to me. Please pray that for me, specifically. Someone, something will present the warning to me. I have no idea why I'm so leery. I guess because we recently had a patient who came in for a consultation re: surgery. Our surgeon recommended surgery and she had severe second thoughts. She went thru with it following the advice of her children and grandchildren and has had terrible complications ever since. [this was last week.] It's scary. But back to today..,. :) I guess I'll just pare down my list of to-do things and call it a day. Tomorrow I have to work all day ~ Fridays are always crazy with seeing patients, etc., and then come home and cook several dishes. It will be a long day. :) I wish you lived closer, too. I need a good cook! lol Well, thanks for listening. I'll probably write a similar blog today. On a good note, I gag every time I try to eat today. Don't know what that's about. Nothing wants to go down. I'm sure it won't last long. ;) No worries. Maybe this weight journey [that's what I'm calling it] came at a good time so i don't balloon up after surgery. It sure would be easy to as my husband truly believes food is love. I am so thankful for my friends. Truly proving that family is not limited to those who share my bloodline.
