I have a surgery date 😬

For the last 3 months the pain in both knees have been horrendous! I decided now is the time to have surgery. 2 surgeons said lose 60 pounds, the 3rd said 20-25 pounds. I started eating less and trying to get at least a little bit of exercise everyday. My pcp gave me a sample of Zepbound, but insurance didn’t cover it. I found compunded tirz, and lost 30 pounds. Surgery is in 2 weeks. Between now and then, I will have an knee injection in my other knee, an injection in my back for pain, a mammogram, a dental deep clean, I have to clean my house for family that are helping after surgery…This is too much! I’m trying not to freak out. I’ve been telling myself for weeks ā€œthe pain will get worse before it gets better, but it will be worth it.ā€ I’m not gonna cry. I’m not gonna cry. I’m not gonna cry. If yall can do it, so can I 😊
