Well, I received news this morning that I was pretty much expecting. I'm being admitted into the hospital on January 2nd for what will amount to probably a week or so. This is hopefully the last step with this stupid foot thing I've been dealing with for nearly two years. It's frustrating, but needed.
They actually wanted to admit me today. That just wasn't happening, though. I have my birthday, out of town guests, a party and the holidays coming up. There's just no way. If it was an emergency I, of course, would've jumped on it. Fact is, this could have been done a year ago.
So thus starts randomness 2005. An IV tube in the arm and compress on the foot. It could be worse, I know, it's just not much to look forward to.

Posted by: Daniella on December 8, 2004 12:49 PMWell, shoot. I'm sorry you have to do this, although I'm glad you can push it back until after the holidays.
They better fix this damn thing!

What will Oprah give away today? What time is my sponge bath? I have you in my prayers and I will always have your back, bro.
Posted by: Brad on December 8, 2004 01:55 PMSorry to hear the foot thing is dragging on and on and on. Here's hoping this takes care of it once and for all.

Seriously, though... that sucks. It's great that you're finally getting around to this though... think of it as New Year's Resolution #1: Deal With Foot Bullshit.
Then you can check it off early, and feel like you've accomplished something for the rest of the year.
