Surgeries update

They are going to do the surgeries the same week. The 2 Baltimore surgeons are meeting later this week to work out the details of all the work. The scheduler is working on finding dates where the pre-op appointment and testing can be done in the same week as the surgeries. They will call me next week with everything.

So, they are uncrushing the right subclavian artery for one surgery and the other is working on my brain's cranial nerves.

Fun :(

13 surgeries and you'd think I could handle anything by now. But here I am at 3:08 am writing this. I couldn't stand writhing in bed in pain any longer. The last 5 1/2 hours of it was enough. It was getting a little ridiculous doing that since the moment I climbed into bed. I'm exhausted, eyelids heavy, but this pain radiating all over my torso and spine is unbelievable.

I don't know what's happening and I'll say it.

I'm afraid.
