More Surgery
Tomorrow I will be having vascular surgery on my right leg.
I banged my ankle on the side of the concrete half pipe slide at Adventure World while going down with my niece years ago. I got a nasty bruise and some pain but I wasn't too worried about it. The bruising never really went away but I still wasn't too concerned. Fast forward a few years and my ankle started to swell alarmingly. This would spread to my foot until eventually the bruising on the ankle became an open wound that would never heal and often I would find myself trying to prepare dinner standing on one leg with tears rolling down my face from the pain. When I was first referred to the hospital we though that surgery would be a few years away but a CT scan revealed the damage was much worse than we thought and I was fast tracked for surgery.
Between immunology treatments for my bee allergy and visits to the Vascular Clinic I feel like I have been living at the hospital so am a little relieved that at least one problem will be sorted out. On the flip side having to close the business AGAIN is extremely frustrating.
