Doctor's Orders....

Got a call from the doctor today.  After reviewing the results of my angiogram, he didn't want to delay doing my bypass any longer than necessary so....the surgery is scheduled for July 14th.  I won't get the exact time I have to be there until I go in for my pre-op on the 10th.  

It's funny but I was sitting in my computer room earlier, thinking about my bypass on the right leg that was done two years ago.  I realized that this bypass scares the crap out of me.  It took me so long to recuperate from the last one and then even longer to regain strength in that leg.  THAT  is what scares me.

Also, the Beast is not a really great nurturer.  He really doesn't have much empathy for others, just feels sorry for himself when he's in pain and he whines a lot.  I don't like to whine and demand attention.  But I do know when I am not getting any at all.  That's the Beast.  He does try to remember that I should be fed and he doesn't expect me to do all the things I normally do...like fold laundry if I am sleeping or in too much pain to sit upright.  I have to ask him for anything I need or want.  He doesn't just normally think of things, like water or even coffee, which he knows I could IV....LOL!

So, say a few prayers for me if you think of it now and then.  I can use any you can send out for my recuperation.  One of my friends says that I might just do better this second time since I already know what it will entail.  I sure hope so.  That would be nice for a change.  This surgery I just had (the roto-rooting...aka balloon surgery) happens to be a bit more painful than my last one.  It's the left foot that is giving me fits.  If that is a sign, then I won't fight over getting the bypass done.  It may mean the difference between keeping my foot or losing it.  Not a nice thought, is it?

It was 92 degrees out and the Beast finally got the lawns done.  He hasn't done the trim work yet but he still has one more day to do that.  It's a man thing, I know.  He will be able to relax a bit on his trip to Atlanta.  

Love you all.  Have a great week and keep cool.  ***Hugs***
