So I called the doctor’s office to confirm the recovery process after my
surgery. Because…well that’s just me. That’s just how I am. I like to
know every step and process so that I’m less nervous.
Anyway, the nurse told me that I’ll be in a cast for two weeks then
non-weight bearing in a boot for four weeks. I’ll have to wear the boot
all the time even when I sleep, which to me sucks. After six weeks of
minimal weight-bearing or moving around much I’ll start physical
therapy.
After hearing this it makes me want to just cancel the surgery all
together. I don’t want to go through the recovery process. But I know
that’s not a reason not to have the surgery. I have to get over it and
deal with it. I’m just so nervous about doing this surgery because well
I’m just nervous. Who wouldn’t be? It’s something major but I think the
leading up to it gives you more anxiety than the surgery itself. I have
too much time to think about it. Time just needs to speed up and April
30th needs to be here.
