I’ve been quiet.
Contemplating the best way to get well.
I’d really like to only have one more surgery. Thinking about having someone tie the shunt off to reduce headaches when they go in to take care of the hernia. It’s not a normal hernia, it’s a hernia that was caused by a surgery. If I organize it correctly, I might can have both procedures done at the same time since the shunt terminates in my stomach.
I’m not ok with never being able to bend over ever again. Not because of the hernia but because the shunt isn’t adjustable. I can have another surgery to fix that but I’m really tired of being a patient.
And – Fifty three is way too young to be so limited!
It’s not okay. I never thought I’d miss a downward facing dog so much. A few months ago I attempted it. It wasn’t beautiful but the stretch, the feeling was beautiful. The pain in my head was tremendous, though. And lasted for days after the stretch. Certainly not something I’ll attempt again until the low pressure headaches have been eliminated.
My sweet hubby (truly sweet, just doesn’t think like me in some things) thinks that the best thing to do is to wait until 2020 when I can go on Medicaid. Not sure that I can wait that long. It hurts to brush my hair. Fortunately, I have a head full of curls or waves depending on the day. Okay, okay and yes some frizz! I’m the kind of person who had fun changing up my hair style. Trying one look, then another. My flat iron is neglected.
Anyway, I’m just ready to get right.
Back to the purpose of this post.
My plan is to identify all of the problems I have that need to be surgically fixed. Then identify in what order they need to be fixed. If the first thing needs to be repaired before I’m on Medicaid in 2020, then maybe I’ll just have to go ahead and have it done and make payments.
Ready to get back to life and living!
