#Journal of a slightly anxious Dutch Pixy 
(Tuesday, 25/03/2025).
@tldr 
please do your thing for me here! 
I woke about half an hour before the alarm. I got up, and the scale was a wee bit kinder to me. Ow, nice... 
I got dressed, took my meds, prepped Arwen's food and let her out for a wee. She was happily eating when I got my bag and headed to Skoosh.
Caught up with social media while I was enjoying my protein shake (and while waiting for the meds to kick in). I got to the seated bike and rode for a bit. After 25 minutes I had to stop. When my leg was a bit better, I walked a short bit on the treadmill, just half a KM, but with a slight incline. I enjoyed a massage on the chair and then I headed back home again.
Washed up, had brekky, and got ready for walkies with Arwen. We had a nice walk and Arwen even rewarded me with a nice selfie. When we got back home, I changed clothes and headed to the hometrainer. I rode for half an hour. I finished my journal blog post and I started a new (to me) TV series on Netflix.
I watched "Totenfrau" a while and I fixed some food. Then Arwen wanted walkies again so we headed out again. When we got back, I changed clothes and walked half an hour on my treadmill. After that, I got the hoover and did the downstairs area. Then I got the mop out and I did the easy to reach bits with it. I was exhausted when I was done. But... I had done it! Yay me!
I washed up, changed clothes, and then I tried to relax on the couch a bit. Arwen was annoying me for quite a while that she wanted out. But it was too early and I just needed a wee bit of rest before we'd be heading out again.
We had a nice walk and Arwen was lucky to see N&B again, as she scored some extra nomnoms. When we got back, I relaxed on the couch. I watched another series on Netflix, Stay Close, and I really liked it. So when that's done, I should get back to Totenfrau.
I fixed some food and then Arwen wanted walkies again. After which I got back to the couch as I felt so tired. Just when I was getting ready to head out with Arwen, I just texted N, my phone rang with an unknown number. I hesitantly answered, as I wasn't expecting the hospital for another 90 minutes. But it was the surgeon! There was no infection, we could schedule the surgery, the waiting in list was about 2 months... Ah ok... Anxiety over the call went, anxiety over the surgery began! 
We had a good walk with N&B. Then some relaxing until it was time for a last wee for Arwen. I was so tired... Went to bed and it didn't take too long to fall asleep. I got my eBook and didn't even get to read from it! I was exhausted...
Woke once for the loo and then again, half an hour before the alarm. So I got up and started my new day...

Both good and bad news over the surgery. Obviously good that there's no infection and that the surgery can go ahead. But, two months of brewing and worrying time, isn't something that any of us would look forward to. Not to mention the actual surgery and recovery, no matter how much it will hopefully help.

Yeah it's good that it's "only" two months of waiting though, last time it took a bit longer... But that was during the worst of Covid19 then....
But it does give me some time to prepare everything, as I'll need a bed in my living room, as mine isn't adjustable. And I need to ask folks for help with Arwen.
I hope all goes smooth and quickly of course.... But yeah, the surgery and recovery will be hard again. Fortunately I know what to expect, but it doesn't make it easier to deal with... 
Fankoos again!
