My orthopedist called this morning and finally gave me a date for my ankle surgery (I've been waiting months for this). It will be on Monday, January 21.
I'm glad I'll finally be getting this done (Achilles tendon lengthening) so I can finally put my left foot flat on the ground. Hopefully it'll help get rid of the arthritis too (I'm 22, that's too young to have that! ) It'll be a day surgery, so no hospital stay.
Anyway, please pray for me on that day. I'll be missing class (it's the first full week of school --we start on Wednesday January 16) and work, so pray that my profs and my supervisors at work will be understanding. Hopefully I won't miss more than 3-4 days, but I'll have to wait and see how my recovery goes. I just hope I'm on a walker and not a manual chair--my campus is murder on people with manual chairs. Stupid huge hills. Pretty, but dangerous. I can see myself losing control, rolling down the "Hill of Death". Hopefully that won't happen.
