Surgery

To those of you that don't know, I am getting major leg surgery on wednesday. I am getting really nervous. When I was 12 I had my right leg lengthened 2 2/1 inches. It made my leg crooked and I didn't want more surgery to fix it. So I left it a lone and in August my ankle started hurting so bad and sometimes I could barely walk. So after a few monthe of it not going away I decided to go to the doctor and figure out what was wrong. The doctor said that since my leg is so crooked it is straining the ligaments and grinding the bones in my ankle. And the only way to fix it is by getting surgery to straighten my leg. I am so bummed because the doctor is going to cut my bone and put a rod into the middle of it. I have staples in my other leg and he is going to take those out too. So, I am going to be on crutches for 2 1/2 months and then a boot or a cane. It will take about 5-6 months to heal. I am so sad that I am going to be away from my kids and not be able to take care of them by myself for awhile. I will be in the hospital for 2 days and I will keep you posted when I can, and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!
