ACDF surgery is tomorrow
Bright and early arrival at 6:30 am. Not super nervous, my friend has had the same surgery with the same surgeon. And I trust my surgeon completely, I just want it to be over with. Looking forward to feeling some pain relief and hopefully to be able to relax. My hubby is more nervous and worried than I am. He’s being super cranky and that is making me anxious. I am just trying not to think about it. I’ve had screws in my feet before but those eventually came out. This stuff is going to be existing inside of me forever. It’s just crazy to think about.
Things I hate about surgery in general is the IV. It’s always painful and awkward to deal with. Even more though, and I 100% know it’s necessary, is the 2 shower scrubbing madness. As someone with ADHD who loathes the showering process, having to stand in the shower with no water for two tortuous minutes is, well, tortuous. So many steps, so many minutes lol. I would prefer a decontamination shower before entering the theater.
