Surgery update:
I feel great. I’ve already shared that I’m a bit of a religious nut, so it will come as no surprise that I totally give all the thanks and glory to God.
I really needed this fixed, and I named it/claimed it, so I believe that it is.
Even with a tight tube wrapping and yards and yards of dressing, I can already extend it flatter than I have been able to since I fell on 12/15/18 - almost 7 months ago.
I will take the meds as directed for at least 24-48 hours, and I WILL use the crutches even though I don’t need them.
Just walked with one crutch up the stairs to use the washroom and put on my jammies. All good. And because this is God’s handiwork, I’m not even afraid of jinxing it.
Have a great night everybody. I appreciate and love you all. (And yes, the meds might be making me a wee bit sappy.)
Me too, thank you.I hope this continues you heal well and quickly for you.
Me too, thank you.
Taking meds now and going to bed. I already forgot to use the crutches twice, so I’ll try to at least stick to the meds schedule. Not every fours though, that’s silly.

Glad to hear it Jennifer, I would caution against tempting fate by overdoing. God may have had a leading role, but, he isn't a wuss about it. He would be upset if you intentionally went against doctors orders and messed with his handy work. Anyway I'm glad all went well.Surgery update:

That's great news. Enjoy it for what it is and make sure to follow the monitoring schedule.Glad to hear it Jennifer, I would caution against tempting fate by overdoing.

I got some news from my biopsy this week and I don't really know how to feel about it. The Doctor called me and told me that the 12 samples they took from my prostate, they could find no cancer at all. Now that would normally be good news, but, I am having a problem getting all giddy about it. We have done nothing proactive to fend anything off. We were on a watch plan, never a cure plan. Labs make mistakes or perhaps the doctor was a bad shot. I'm encouraged that, at the worst, it hasn't grown any, but, gone completely is hard for me to understand, process or believe at all. The plan is to continue to monitor at the same rate as before and determine down the road if we should continue or not. Anyway, the older I get, the less inclined they are to do surgery on a cancer that is apparently hard to locate and will probably outlive me. Good news none the less, just hard to wrap my head around.

Just keep getting well. I understand the meds thing. I am the same way. So far after being prescribed on three occasions have used only one Oxycontin pill total from all three times. I actually turned the unused ones back in to the VA to dispose of. Hopefully that is what they did with it. I took the one and hated how I felt. I am at a loss to figure out what the attraction is to be out of it. It's not pleasant to me. It only made me feel out of control and I am the King of control freaks. In Vietnam when everyone around be was getting extremely drunk or high, I couldn't do it. I was always wondering how I would react if I had to save myself or others if we came under attack. Maybe that is the type of attitude that eventually turns one into a full blown skeptic. I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop.Take it for the good news that it is. ❤❤
I have two couch days planned, but those meds have got to go. I’ve got extra strength Tylenol and prescription Tylenol 3’s if I need something.
Interesting that we’re getting ours first.
Based on the timing of my hip replacement, we might be able to swing a quickie road trip. We still have an Irma park day left.
If not, I’m pretty sure it will still be there next September.
