The Surgery - Week 1
I never had surgery before in my life.
Maybe that’s why I didn’t stress about it at all. It didn’t bother me for one second that I’d be in an operating room, passed out, while a surgeron is cutting me open. Zero. Fs. Given. I didn’t know what to expect, so I expected nothing.
Got to the facility, changed into the Mrs. Doubtfire outfit. Made a joke about the “cocktail” I’d be receiving to knock me out, and how I like it “on the rocks”. Before I could hear if anyone laughed I was knocked out cold.
Came out in a splint. Doc said everything looked great. I’d be back in 1 week to have the splint removed, stitches/staples taken out, and into a cast for 2 weeks. I wasn’t looking forward to a cast, but it was nice knowing my achilles tendon was finally re-connected and the path towards rehabilitation was beginning.
