Hello ladies.
I just need to vent a minute. I had to go to the Orthopedic Surgeon on Friday. I have real bad Carpel Tunnel and Arthritis in my left hand and it's gotten to the point where surgery is the only option to fix the issue or continue hurting and take a chance on losing all use of my hand. So with me getting married in May, my Dr. scheduled my surgery for Friday, Jan 5, 2024. So therefore I am going to be off work for a while. And I still have over $2grand left to pay on our wedding. Even though my surgeon told me that he would write a note for me to return to work after 1 week of being off but only with light duty. Not sure if my job is going to go for it . I do have short term/long term disability. But not sure if I will even be eligible for it since I have only been back to work 3 months. And I am afraid that I am going to have to use my PTO/Vacation time that I have saved up to take off for the wedding and use it for my time off for surgery. There's still a good bit to be done for the wedding. So now just when I thought I was getting to be a little stress free, here I am back to square one with stress. My FH already has enough on his plate to deal with and can't take on my part too. And I refuse to ask him to. It's just not an option.
The surgeon said I would be around 12 to 16 weeks before I am fully recovered to go back full force with everything. That along scares me. Cause I am so used to doing for myself and not having everyone wait on me hand and foot. Yes I am hardheaded so I am sure there will be things I will do when I am not supposed too. And there will be things I will not do that I am supposed to like REST!!! Not making this post for advice or whatever, just venting because I need to get it off my chest and didn't want to talk to FH about it and have him worried. He's got enough on him as it is. But I will ask for one thing, and that is everyone keep me in your prayers as things get turned upside down in my life for a little while. I will try to keep you all updated as much as I can. Thanks for listening to me vent a moment.
