Good, good.

Yep. Hurts like hell when anyone squeezes my hand, even lightly. And recently it's started aching at random times for no apparent reason.

Didn't even think about the 4th of July when I set up the surgery. They said I could have it as soon as next Wednesday but if not then I'd have to wait until June 13. I said June 13 because I need to make sure I have time to get everything set up at work with FMLA or disability or whatever I'm gonna need. Then realized June 13 is 3 weeks before 4th of July <_< Not sure if I'll be able to request the full 3 weeks off right from the start but I'm gonna try.

Be like, my doctor really said I'll probably need 3 weeks >_>

Im waiting to get scheduled for a MRI of my ankle. They put me on light duty last week and this week but Im really on light duty this week now that I have a boot on. 

Hopefully everything is okay.

Light duty may be a possibility for me but I think they only do that if they have a need for it which they don't always have since there are usually a few people on light duty at any given time. Also some of the things they have you do on light duty like housekeeping would still be pretty hands on.

Idk people go out for months for seemingly minor stuff all the time I can't imagine it'll be TOO difficult to manage 3 weeks. 

I've had a lot of surgeries, but yeah it's different for everyone.
