50,000 miles maintenance


I am an experienced at lot of things that I am very proud of.... experienced mother, nurse , wife, business person,,,, add to that list experienced patient. Not in being patient,,,,,, I hate to wait for things,,, but in being a patient,,, as in---- the sick one.

Not really sick, just needing repair.... Maintenance is how I prefer to think of it. I intend to live a very long time, longevity runs in my family. I need maintenance. Replacement parts. I wouldn't drive around on bald tires...........or low on oil...
My left hand needs maintenance, I have worn out some crucial parts, and will have some repairs done tomorrow. I will not have to stay in the garage overnight............ my family will not need a loaner, thank heavens! But I will be out of commission for a few weeks.
I am not ashamed to admit that I am nervous about this repair.... Basal joint arthroplasty is the name of the procedure.... I have had lots of surgeries,,,,,,,, but this is my hand, and I depend on my hands to do what I do.........be who I am.....
Please send me good thoughts tomorrow, pray if that is what you do...... I need positive energy...
I will post on Saturday with an update.

We put so much trust in Doctors to do their best for us-may the Lord guide the surgeons hands and may you feel the results of us holding you in our prayers!
