Terrified - that's what I am. I've scheduled my knee replacement surgery and it ain't gonna be pretty. Four days in the hospital, no RA drugs, compression hose and shots in my tummy for 10 days (which Shawn is going to have to do). And that's not even touching the whole recovery/physical therapy ordeal! I guess the good thing is that by this time next month, the surgery will be over and the tummy shots halfway through. I don't know if I can actually do this. Hell, this is elective surgery - I don't HAVE to get it done! I might end up in a wheelchair if I don't, but I don't HAVE to do the surgery, right?
I just have to focus on the benefits. By September I can maybe be in heels again. And feel comfortable in dresses and skirts (even with the scar?). I can possibly ride a bike again or go rock wall climbing. Or walk around the block without someone asking me if I need a lift.
I can do this. I can.
