9 days away

well... I was supposed to work tonight, and am unable. When I was at work last night, I wondered how I would ever have been able to finish out. And if Dr Khanna had needed to put in lines, I would have certainly suffered more. I am supposed to work 3 more nights and wonder if I can do it. I will see the boss - my director - on Monday before I work. I need to address my FMLA and the possibility of Leave of Absence when the FMLA runs out.

Currently my leg is throbbing. I had to get out of bed because my hips hurt so bad. Probably from the limping and favoring from last night at work.

I am looking forward to having a good knee post op, but at the same time, dread the aftermath of surgery. When I had my R knee replaced 10 years ago I had such pain issues - I was over medicated and woke to find too many people in my room. (looks like a code - what am I doing in bed??) And the pain with therapy. Making the joint bend, the leg bend. The therapist pressing and bending to see the angle of the bend in my knee.

No, I do not look forward to it. But I can't wait for it to be done.
