surgery! not!
Guess what? I didn’t have surgery this morning! There was a massive wind storm that knocked out the power in most of western Washington. Over a million homes lost electricity, including ours and including the hospital where my surgery was supposed to take place. We’re at my mom’s house right now, where the power just came back on about an hour ago. Apparently it could take up to ten(!) days to restore power to our neighborhood. So. Awesome.
I have no idea when I’ll get rescheduled for the surgery. Hopefully SOON, since Ammon has the time off right now. I’ll try to post again tomorrow with the fun story of how we got to my parents house. There are lots of fun parts to the story, like the part where we ran out of gas but ha! There was no power for miles and miles and miles and thusly no gas to be found anywhere. That was fun.
Yowza! Hospitals without electricity? Scary wind!! Glad you got a reprieve, but hopefully it will be short so you don’t have to stress too much in the interim. I also second everyone’s calm advice about the anesthesia experience — piece ‘ cake, and very relaxing
You’ll be fine!

I just found your blog… bouncing around the internet to avoid doing my chores. I’m out here on the Oregon Coast (Astoria) and was hit with the same storm. I do hope you get power back soon!
Anyhow, I’m enjoying your blog (and applaud your honesty). I look forward to reading more.
Blessings on your ankle and eventual surgery.

OH MY! I just sent you an email before reading this. Yeah…that wind was something else, huh? I’m glad you are all ok and hope your power comes on fast!

Oh you lucky thing! I am with you…terrified at the concept of general anesthesia…but they tell me it just ain’t so bad. Thinking of you and hoping you get it over with sooner rather than later.
