Well, I have a surgery tomorrow. Some of you know I complain here and there about bedrest, I've basically lived in a bed for the past 15 months due to complications with pressure sores. I can't feel when my butt gets sore so the constant sitting is a problem for me and many that are wheelchair bound.
So, tomorrow I get a little plastic surgery to close the extra hole in my butt. They will harvest tissue from my ass or thigh and fill in the whole. The fun part? 6 weeks of strict bedrest on my side in a hospital for recovery. During the recovery, I'm going to attempt to have my spine straightened. Due to not having core muscles my torso looks like it melted and fell to the side, which caused uneven pressure, and the resulting pressure sores which have plagued me for so long.
So, hopefully I can schedule a spinal surgery to cure the problem rather than addressing the symptoms. Kinda crazy, I'm hoping for back surgery.
I don't know how much I'll be online. I assume a lot less, but that's what I thought when my laptop died. Hopefully the hospital has wireless........
