It is SEPTEMBER! It is my birthday month! It is surgery month!! I am super excited! September 27th can't come soon enough!! No preop diet. Just some apple juice the night before and clear liquid diet starting at noon the day before.
I have a dietitian consult on Wednesday and see the surgeon on the 18th. A day after my birthday. I am currently on two IV antibiotics for my feet. I hope this doesn't put a damper on surgery. I'm hoping it is to my advantage that I am so pumped full of antibiotics that my risk of infection from surgery are close to none. I hope he doesn't burst my bumble. My friend had surgery when she had a bone infection so hopefully he is OK with it too. Obviously, I don't want to jeopardize my health, but Medicaid has given me a October 31st deadline to get surgery.
On the plus side - no more wound vac. It's been off for more than two weeks and we shipped it back this week. I don't have to worry about a Friday appointment to have that changed right after surgery now. Feet are doing better. I've been taking them off the chair pretty much any time I am not moving too much. This is a temporary solution so if this gets me off antibiotics sooner so be it.
And the best part - my feet are small enough that I was able to get UGGS on. Not quite my cute tall leather boots, but a good transition boot to wear as my feet are recovering. Too hot to wear UGGs now anyway.
Hope all the other September dates are doing well!!
