I had a doctors appointment with the surgeon and my sister Sheila and my oldest son Robert went with me for support. I don’t think my poor sister will ever get the image of my x-rays out of her mind! So here’s the plan: surgery is scheduled for the 22nd of February IF they can get my hemoglobin up to a 12, it has been at 8.5 for months now ans won’t budge despite what doctor M has tried. I had to go to Cape Fear this past Friday for pre -registration which I didn’t have to do last time because my right hip was an emergency surgery so all of this is both new and a little annoying. I just want to get this over with so my legs will be even and most important my pain will be gone. I have missed so much church I’m afraid Jesus will forget what I look like! Anyway, I have to take a “surgery class” which I tried to get out of since I’ve had this surgery before but NOOOOO, since it’s been over a year since the last surgery I will have to take the class. Who knows, I may learn something interesting. Cape Fear has an Iron Infusion Clinic and they tell me that I am a candidate since my hemoglobin is so low and must be raised for surgery so I’m actually excited about that because it will help and I will have more energy. I’ve also been told that this time the recovery will be a lot less painful because they won’t have to cut thru my muscle like last time, they will just push the muscle aside this time because there is no fracture like last time! this makes me very very happy. So here’s my question: if I get a whole new body when I get to heaven, why is Jesus allowing it to be remade here? Let’s be real, HE is the great physician so what’s up with this remake on earth? Just asking. Hey, maybe he has lots of work for me to do yet and wants me in good shape and no pain so that I can do what he has planned for me. Well anyway, I’ll keep you posted as we get closer to the surgery. In the mean time I have to get rid of this pesky cold.
