I’ve gotten the recent X-rays needed for surgery!

I continue not to know what tags to use on these posts, so… here’s hoping I’ve gotten it right.

As of today, I’ve gotten the X-rays that my podiatrist and the surgeon need to do surgery. They know exactly where the breaks are in my bone (breaks, as in plural tense… not having a cast put on it after this happened caused all of this, though I’m not in the mood to attempt to litigate against anyone I’ve seen for my care about this because it’s not worth my time), which will allow the surgeon to go in and put a screw into the bone that continues not to heal. Now I need to see the anesthesiologist as well as my podiatrist and I’m set!

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.
