Haven't been on the computer in a few days, just feeling blah and recovering. Still not much sleep...
So I finally got my surgery on both feet. Yeah, I'm laid up pretty good this time. They of course screwed up the pain meds so still trying to unfuck that. I bet if their big toe got cut off and screwed back on and partial amputation or refixture of the second toe on the other foot they'd act a bit quicker. I can put weight on the foot with the smaller toe and I have a scooter I kneel on BUT that's with my bad knee. I just got 30ml fluid pulled off of it last week and a cortisone shot that prevented me from sleeping for a week. He found 3 bone fragments in there, what's been locking it up all this time. This new doc never listens to me. I FINALLY got an ortho consult, so right when this heals I'll be getting surgery on my knee. While I'm laid up and keeping my worst foot elevated, that of course aggravates my back. Goddamnit, it's ALWAYS something. But hopefully I can walk and maybe even hike some after this. And stand at the press longer. And buy normal boots. I hope so, I don't wanna go through all this for nothing again.
And during all this fun stuff, I got blood work and it's still showing high WBC and the doctors are now concerned that I may have leukemia, what killed my great uncle. I sure hope the fuck he's wrong on this, I gotta get more blood drawn soon and probably see a blood doctor. I've had high WBC for a long time but I'm always fucking myself up and there's a reason, like broken bones or rejected implants. Maybe it should have been looked at sooner but you usually don't look at cancer as the first reason. And I hope he's wrong about this like he was about my knee, I've got enough problems without worrying about that, but I guess people live with it for a long time and never have any issues. With the VA handling this, it'll likely be six months to a year before I find out if I do or not, so not holding my breath. But they have seemed to be moving faster than usual with this. Again, I hope he's wrong and it's just the usual me being hard on my body, which wouldn't surprise me.
Wow. Just one thing after another. At least I got some range time in the day before the surgery. Hopefully the surgery improves my ability to do some things, a good thing. I wanted this done, needed it done. Gotta start looking into moving after it all heals and get the knee done. Anyway, wish me luck on all this shit!
