I am having an operation tomorrow!
 

Well guys this is it. The last surgery I can have on my foot. If this doesn't do it then I am stuck with pain and discomfort for the rest of my life. Which means hiking and all that fun stuff I use to do and can still do, but I will suffer for days after if this surgery doesn't do the trick. :sadcrying

I am going to Washoe Medical Center in Reno for my surgery tomorrow morning and will be out of work for the rest of the week. BUT that doesn't mean I won't be able to prop myself up on the couch with my laptop and help my affiliates. I am sending out e-mails and ICQ's to everyone to let them know who they can contact if I am out for longer than I think.

Plus this time I am giving my camera to my surgeon and he is going to take pics of my foot wide open and pics of him drilling the blots out. I have had surgery so many times on this foot I am curious as to what he is actually doing when he cuts me open. He always cuts on the same line so my scar is very small and thin but it appears that he really opens up my foot by length and location of the scar.

So wish me luck, say a prayer or whatever you practice and I will talk to all of you when I get back from the other side. hehe Oh and I love my surgeon because he always gives me the loopy shot, that's the shot you get before the shot that knocks you out, way in advanced so I can enjoy myself and relax before the cutting begins. hehe

Love you all...........:wetkiss

I hope it all works out for you!

good luck and I hope it works

hope it works like it should and you're back on your feet in no time. wish you the best.

Best of luck, Loryn! :)

May the surgery be a success and that you recovery fully and in a very timely manor as pain free as possible.

Good hospital. Pity you can't run up 50 to Tahoe and ski. All the best Loryn. Hope this does the trick for you!

Good luck Loryn, hope everything turns out well for you! :thumbsup

Good luck Loryn

Good Luck Loryn..... and enjoy the Demerol cocktail :winkwink:

Sweet. Post the pics then.

I hope this one is the last surgery you'll ever have to endure, sweet Loryn. You will be in my thoughts.

I hope everything works out hun.


:wetkiss :wetkiss :wetkiss

Best of luck. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending good joojoo your way.

I am going to ask them if they can give me something strong to take home with me. They had me so full of Demerol at the hospital last time that I was ready to go home and felt no pain, and then later that night when I went home and the Demerol wore off I was screaming and crying in pain and the regular vicodine didn't do shit. It was horrible. So for sure I am going to ask for something way stronger to have for 3 or 4 days.


Thank you everyone for the warm wishes. I will carry them with me to the operating table! :)

I really wish you luck. I had a lot of surgeries on my elbow (used to be a professional climber) and know this fucking pain! Hope, this operation will be helpful for you.

Best of luck!!!

good luck and may you have a speedy recovery!

good luck, hope everything goes well :)

Damn Loryn, you've had a helluva time with that foot :( Sending good thoughts to you from GA!!

Good Luck Loryn, hope it works out for you.

Goodluck Loryn ! xoxo

Good luck darlin :)

Hope everything goes well for you.

I have an uncle who has had several foot cirurgies due to a car accident when he was young and the convalescence his usually somewhat painfull.

Good luck!

You'll do great!!! About the pain? Hard to say what they'll let you have. Every time I've needed pain meds at home, what they gave me was a joke too. At least I can look back and say I'm glad that's over.

All that pain can put ya in a cranky mood. It did me. I was hell to live with.

Wishin ya the best and as little pain as possible. Take care!

Best of luck Loryn:thumbsup :thumbsup

pain and discomfort suck royally. Good luck babe... I hope it goes well for you :thumbsup

Best of luck lady... I hope the outcome is what you are hoping and a whole lot more...

Good luck Loryn!

Good luck, girl! Our thoughts are with you. xoxo

Best of luck to you. I hope this surgery alleviates the pain. Nobody should have to live in constant pain. :(

Best of luck m'lady, I'm sure this will be a success! :)

I know what you mean. The last time I had surgery was when I shattered my ankle and they had to go in to reconstruct it. I had been on Vicodin since the night I shattered it and the Vicodin didn't seem to do a damn thing for the pain. But when I got to the Hospital they gave me a "Demerol Cocktail" about 30 mins before the operation. As they were moving me to the O.R. I remember telling the Anisthesiologist that I didn't feel any different and I didn't think the injection was working, to which he replied "you will". The last thing I remember was being wheeled into the Operating Room and telling one of the doctors something along the lines of "Oooooooooo, what pretty lights", he laughed and told me to count back from 100...... I don't think I made it to 99 :1orglaugh .


They gave me a smaller Demerol shot when I had to get out of bed and try to walk on the crutches for the first time; I went from pain to paradise in about 5 minutes.
