Here we go again!

I met with my surgeon last week and he determined that the last 14 months? That nerve? That's been treated/injected/ablated? Was the WRONG ONE.

The WRONG fucking nerve has been being treated for the last 14 MONTHS. That my pain has been coming from a different accessory nerve in that region.

Wonderful.

So now, it's time to be sliced and diced again, and SOON. The downside of having a military surgeon? They DEPLOY. At a moment's notice.

On Friday morning, my surgeon got notice that he was deploying. Soon. As in July 5th soon. So my surgery? Will be done within a week. (Still have to meet with him today to find out when)

The good news is that I'll get it done and over with. Not exactly great timing with a house-hunting/business trip coming up, but if we waited any longer, the timing would just get worse. SO, Glynn may have to make a trip solo and conference me in on the phone for everything.

Whatever it takes. THIS time, I WILL let my body heal itself. I won't be getting up and stressing out my body. No kids jumping on my incision. No housework. No cooking. No anything. I swear.

My poor husband. My poor mom. They've really got their work cut out for them. I'm just grateful to have some help. I couldn't do this alone.

So keep those hands together and keep the prayers coming, because I need them now more than ever. I'm scared. I don't like surgery, especially one where I don't know how bad it's going to be, with so many unknowns going into it. How big the incision will be, what will he find? What will he have to do to fix it? I just need to think positive and pray for the best, a small incision, a simple repair, and for God to bless my surgeon's hands and mind, and also watch over him as he deploys.

Just to name a few more things to pray about: the impeding separation from the military, the move, the new practice, the health and well-being of my family, and for Glynn and I to be able to work through all of this stress without hurting each other. That someday we will be able to settle down, grow roots, and stay PUT. With ONE job, ONE place to live, ONE place to work. I can't wait.

That's all for now, I'll post more as I get more details.
