Soon I’ll be having surgery on my broken foot!

I have to get another set of X-rays done to guide the surgeon, but I am looking at surgery with regional anesthetic or twilight sedation in the coming weeks and I could not be more excited that I will regain the ability to walk normally! I’ve continued to have the broken foot examined by various members of my care team leading up to the appointment I had to wait for and can’t complain about how well the pain it’s caused has been managed, but I look forward to not having any broken bones when they put a screw into that bone. If I can handle giving birth to two children I think I can handle laying on the operating table while they do this, though additional precautions will be taken due to the fact I have epilepsy. These are the same precautions taken whenever I have surgery on the back of my neck for the migraines that the same individual also caused, so I think I’ll be fine. I’ve sent a few questions to my doctor’s office about anesthesia decisions as they relate to my epilepsy diagnosis, and I hope to hear back from them within the next week.
