Hey Guys,
Today is day 14 I believe. Feels good to get more days. 🙂
I had back surgery yesterday and am still very sore. I was feeling extremely lonely going into the hospital. I was scared. I didn’t feel like gambling which was good. My mom took a pre-op picture of me which I posted on Facebook and got close to 100 responses wishing me well and 40-50 comments. For some reason it made me feel really good and not so alone. It gave me a little more strength.
I just want to walk normally again. The doctor told my mom when they started the operation that they tested my nerves and I had very little nerve action in my right leg. He explained that by the end of the surgery my nerves were working great. I’m just hoping as the pain and swelling go down that my right leg comes back to life. Fingers crossed.
I am also getting disability which will be great when it arrives. My mom is letting mew stay at her house for a few weeks while I rehab and prepare to maybe go on this trip for work in late January. If I’m able to go on the trip I should be close to close to debt free while I’m gone. I have to find place when I get back and will be needing every cent I can muster. My debt is at around $16k currently. I have about 4K sitting with my mom and some money on the way in. Close to 3-4k. So I think I should be ok. But I have to take it one day at a time and remain gamble free.
I’m very grateful for all of you, my surgery (which was free), my family, and my friends, my dog, and being gamble free for 2 weeks. Yay. Day 14 today. Go day 14!
