It's official, my surgery date is Feb 4, 2009. I wasn't able to schedule it any later unless I was willing to wait another month or more. Now the hard work really starts, getting all the pre-op requirements done, tying up loose ends at work, opening a show, and keeping my nerves in check.
Occaisionally, I wonder what I'm about to do, and wonder if it really is the right thing for me.
When I get up after sitting for only 15 minutes and find that I can't walk because I've stiffened up, I realize it might be the right thing for me. When I continually send my family to fetch things for me because I'm always in pain, I know its the right thing for me. No matter how much this scares me, I know its the right thing to do, because I've worked very hard to have a life - now I deserve to live that life to its fullest.
There are a few problems to be worked out, such as coverage for a week or two at the theatre. And not having enough time off accumulated to cover more than a week of recuperation time, which will make for a short paycheck. We don't know if Fred will be going back to work in February. If he does, which we hope, then I'll need someone to shuttle me to and from the hospital, and to check on me periodically during the days.
So keep the prayers coming, and always keep the laughter going.
