Summary of week's activities.
7 1/2 weeks since the last cigarette. Meetings with orthopedic surgeon and Rex Hospital on Monday 12th. Slight hiccup at surgeon's meeting - requiring 'last minute' visit on Friday 16.
Registrations, blood tests, meeting with anesthetist, and lots of paperwork at Rex. Was asked whether I had any issues with a spinal instead of a general anesthetic? I responded with "As long as I don't hear or see the surgeon when he cranks up his power saw or lathe, I don't mind."
Interestingly enough, I was bragging on Wednesday and Thursday that, as the day of the surgery was getting closer, amazingly the pain in my knees was getting less and less. In addition, my range of motion appeared to be improving. I must have been bragging too much as when Thursday afternoon came around, I could hardly bloody walk! Teach me to talk too much.
Short visit with surgeon on Friday - "Houston. We have no problems. We have lift-off at 9 am on Tuesday."
