I met with my podiatrist one more time, and we went over what kinds of anesthetics we could use since my epilepsy makes general anesthetic a bit… dicey, if you get me. So we kind of have to work around that…

So far so good though!

I can’t wait to have surgery on my foot and be able to walk again.

As of tomorrow, I’ll be seeing one of the two doctors that I need to see to have sign off for my surgery.

These two doctors are a rudimentary manner of course, but this puts me one step closer to having the screw in my foot that I need to have in my foot to continue to be able to use my foot as intended… so I’m actually looking forward to it. I will be seeing the second of those two doctors early next week, and then I should have a much better idea when the surgery is actually going to be and what I need to expect going into and coming out of it! With any luck, I should be able to get a few questions answered about the kind of anesthesia that I’m going to be given as it relates to my surgery because we have to work around my epilepsy as well… I’d like to be given a regional block so that I don’t feel any pain, and twilight sedation if this can at all be managed because it will be so much more preferable to general anesthetic and it will be safer.
