Now you have that song stuck in your head, right?
So today is my last day. I finished handing everything off at work yesterday and gave some treats to my wonderful team to thank them for putting up with me. I am certainly not the only one this injury affects. It was kind of sad leaving. I will miss everyone.
I did get my pre-surgery pedicure this weekend! My toes remind me of cupcakes with sprinkles. (I give the picture a GR of 2 only because some people have a thing about feet.)
Stepping off the Ryzolt has been unpleasant. It is a 12-hour pill so I am taking it once a day now instead of twice. Since I am not ahead of the pain, it never really calms down. Oh well. It will be worth it to not have to go through that withdrawal again.
The instructions I received from pre-op said they will call today to tell me what time my surgery will be tomorrow. I am waiting by the phone. They said that since they are a trauma hospital, they can only schedule things so far in advance. A friend of mine had her hip surgery rescheduled at the last minute recently and she was so frustrated. I totally understand! You get so worked up with anticipation. I don't think my surgery can be rescheduled though. Once the cells are ready and delivered, they have to be used immediately.
Adding a few more things to my list that I picked up over the weekend:
- Back pillow (the kind with arms)
- Bed tray
@ Jenn - My mother used to swear by Arnica gel! I haven't thought about that in years.
