Finally feeling a little bit of fear set in...

[sinisterporpoise]

I expected to start panicking sometime before they removed the bones from my toes when the podiatrist told me he scheduled me for the surgery. Oddly, I'm still not clear on why the doctor ordered the surgery, even though I'm pretty sure the podiatrist knows what he's doing on th is case. (I'm not too sure he's right about the soft tissue inflammation causing the ankle problems, but I'll wait to see if the orthotics actually help. The only thing I am sure of is that this is not fibro pain.

But at least the fear has not become overwhelming. It seems to be just a little bit of nervousness. It may increase now that there's a little less than 48 hours until the surgery, or it may stay where it is. Perhaps it's because I know a little of what to expect and I hope that some of the problems I've been happening are connected in some way.

I'm keeping you in my thoughts and hope all goes well, including that you are able to go into this with a calm heart and mind. ♡

I could do some rune work or pull out some Pow-Wow but I'd have to pull materials out of the Great White Beast and I'm not exactly sure where they are at the moment. (The latter, being an esoteric Pennsylvania Dutch healing practice, would be more appropriate to the situation anyway.)

I'm sure I'll be fine. Besides, the roommate has assured me that she will hog tie me and drag me to the hospital *if necessary.* I should only be there for a few hours.

Now, being unable to take over-the-counter painkillers or even the piroxicam to deal with the pain the spurs causes kind of stinks, but I should be rid of the problem soon enough.

Best of luck! :) (smilie)
