Speaking of COVID and the ripple effect, I was scheduled for lumbar decompression and fusion surgery on Jan 4th. It is inpatient, 3 day. I got the call yesterday, canceled. There will not be a bed available for me. Not only that, surgeries have been canceled since Dec. 4th. So not only will I be waiting until this latest surge slows down, I then have a month's worth of others who were scheduled ahead of me. Who knows when I will get in there?
I am crushed. I cried all day yesterday. I have been off work since Sept 8th. I can only walk a few steps at a time, and that is with a walker. Im not allowed to drive. The longer I am immobile the weaker I become and it will be harder and harder to recover, even with PT after surgery, not to mention the constant pain. I'm feeling extra salty about it. Me, and people like me all across the country (and world) are stuck. Stuck because someone else didnt want to wear a mask. It bleeping sucks.
Thanks for letting me vent.
