I forgot to write yesterday about my upcoming surgery, which is probably a good thing, and you'll see why in just a minute.
As you've all probably heard, I have a surgery planned to remove the spacer in my jaw and replace it with a bone graft from my hip. It's not going to be as intense of a surgery as the ones in December and January were, but it's going to leave me sore for a few weeks!
Initially, the surgery was planned for April 3rd, which is a week from tomorrow. Dr. Hunt, my main doctor up at Hunstman, called today and said there was an opening in his surgery schedule for this Thursday, as in TWO days from now. My mom said, "Can we call you back?" We talked it over, and decided we'd jump on this opportunity.
So the surgery is this Thursday, March 28th. I anticipate it'll be a few hours and the doctors anticipate me staying just one night. Depending on the time of the surgery (we'll know tomorrow), we'll either head up to Salt Lake tomorrow night or Thursday morning, and if all goes well, I'll be back late Friday!
It's good that I wrote about blessings yesterday, because here is another one! The surgery will get done sooner, it won't be right before my brother's birthday, and Dr. Hunt doesn't have as many surgeries this Thursday as he does next week, so I'll go in earlier in the day (because I can't eat at all the morning of the surgery). I'm excited to get another step closer to full recovery. Keep running!
