Seeing the Surgeon

Tomorrow I go to see the surgeon for the first time since I left the hospital. I am pretty nervous about it all; I wonder when I am going to be closed up for good. I am praying that it will be within the next two months. I don't know how well I would handle too much longer. In addition, my wife is getting pretty tired of having to change my dressing every three days or so.

Neither one of us is sleeping well and we both worry about my wound leaking all the time. On one hand I have had no physical problems since I came home from the hospital, but this has been such a trying experience, it's hard to be optimistic.

I'll know soon.
