Surgery yet again

[5bugles]

I saw my orthopedic surgeon today. He did xrays and a ultrasound. My ankle joint has deteriorated completely. It's now bone on bone. I meet with him on August 2nd to discuss fusion surgery. This will be the 7th surgery on my legs. My last day of work is tomorrow. It was going to be Tuesday but I have to do minimal walking. My permanent PCA starts next month so I guess this is a good time to do it. I know this isn't IC related but you all have been there with me through almost all of this. I'm tired.

Sorry to hear about your impending surgery. Hope all goes well. Hang in there and keep us posted on how it goes. I think most of us have times when we, too, say "I'm tired," but you be strong - you can do this!
