Surgery was a success!!!!!!!!
I live bitches! (this is what I meant when I asked if the Ao3 curse could effect you when you haven't written in over a years)
I was knocked out for the surgery and said some crazy shit while on drugs afterwards. That was Monday.
Hopefully tonight is my last night in the hospital. Had to have a blood transfusion Wednesday morning and I think I've been fighting a fever on and off...
The pain has gone down to a three so they can't give me the good stuff (drugs lmao) but I'm able to hobble to and from the bathroom with a walker.
If any of you missed the reblog Sunday night of what was going on, I had an Atypical Lipomatous Tumor that was about ten years old growing from my right buttocks into my lower calf, all while twisting around my sciatic nerve.
They ended up having to leave a part of it in my calf right below my knee (I think) because it twists all through my tendons and don't want to risk causing injury to that or the rest of my static nerve.
I have a photo of what they took out. It weighed about eight pounds and was about two feet long? There's a ruler in the photo that's about six inches long... it looks like a mutant child from an 80's horror film lmao. I'm not gonna post it on here cos I don't want to get banned or whatever but yeah.
I will be stuck on light duty/bed rest for about six weeks which means I can't go to work and money will be tight for a while but I'm trying not to think about that. There will be quite a bit of physical therapy and occupational therapy as well but I'll fight those dragons as they come.
PT/OT is gonna have me practice going up and down stairs tomorrow as well as dressing myself so we shall see how that goes.
I'll do my best to keep you all in the loop but I make no promises.
