I am finally having my kyphoplasty on Friday.

This has been put off too many times. I did not even know it was an option over the last few years that I have been having compression fractures. My oncologist recommended it. It was put off for scheduling purposes, because of an infection and because my mother died. I worry that it has been left too late. But I worry about everything.

I worry about the anesthesia. I worry about the pain, or about screwing things up post-surgically. I worry about the surgery not working. I worry about having the surgery because I have shortness of breath. They know I have shortness of breath, but I worry anyway.

Thanks for listening.
