An unhealthy update

In preparation for surgery on Friday I haven't had anything solid to eat since Saturday morning. My brain is running low on any creative, original, or amusing posts. I've also been suffering from severe pains since Saturday, so I'm not much in the mood for writing. Last night I was considering going to the ER but decided against it simply because I already know the local hospital will not know what to do with me. The only hospital that would know is an hour away and I wasn't in a condition to be in a car for that long.

I'm not thrilled about having surgery on Channukah eve. I would have liked to invite friends over to my house and cook all the common Channukah treats for them, but the way my house looks now and the fact that I'm incapable of doing any physical work to clean it up - took care of that idea. So I may have to invite myself over to my friends instead. Although I find it difficult to believe I'll be coherent enough to be able to celebrate Friday eve.

Next week I have a consultation with another surgeon to schedule the next surgical procedure. I wish they could make exceptions for patients like me and perform multiple surgeries in one go. Instead I have to suffer several times.

I'm going to try and take it easy tomorrow. Stay home and get ready for the surgery. I'm already pushing myself a bit too much this week by going to work, but thankfully no one has asked me yet why I hardly get up from the chair. Nor did anyone notice that I'm walking at a pace of a 90 year old woman with a walker. Though I think my boss noticed that my lunch consisted of a tiny container of cottage cheese. That'll be my breakfast and lunch. The last real meal before I go on clear liquid diet.

I just want to be past all these damn surgeries. I'm tired of being sick. Tired of being in pain.
