Well the hand has been healing a week, so time to cut it open and start again! Tomorrow is the new surgery day. I have to be there at 7:45 for 8:45 surgery. I really have no idea what the surgery plan is. I haven't really talked to my actual surgeon long enough to get the plan. I'm not sure how long it will take. I'm not sure what kind of get-up will be on my hand after surgery. It is just really all a mystery.
I do know that the pre-op nurse today called to get some medical statistics on me. She asked if I've ever had surgery. After I gave her the run down of past procedures (leaving out all oral surgeries even though I was knocked-out for those and a couple of other surgical procedures that didn't require being completely knocked out) she gasp and said "oh my!". I didn't know I was in the "oh my" category of the world, but apparently I am.
She also asked some other stuff including "are you depressed". I had to laugh at that one. She asked why and i said, "Well I'm suppose to be on the beach in Mexico right now, but instead I'm talking to you about my surgery tomorrow, so what do you think? Sound depressing?!".
