On April 7th I'll be having surgery to fix my right achilles tendon. The recovery will take all summer and into the autumn. I'm glad to have the surgery in spring, though, since autumn is always the time when I crash into depression.
I'm relieved to be having the surgery because I am so, so weary of being in pain for the past almost 3 years. I'm anxious, too, of course. This will be the fifth surgery in my life...for some strange reason the older I get the more apprehensive I become about life stuff.
One of the reasons I feel uptight is because this is the only surgery I've had when I'm living alone. My husband lives a mile from me, but it's a long mile if I'm not able to do things and he's asleep in front of the TV, not hearing his phone. I have no one else local to rely on for even a small favor. A scary feeling, but I just have to turn on some rock and roll and make it through.
