So

For those not in the loop, the second surgery is also a total knee replacement. This will be the right leg. The plan was to do them six weeks apart, and be off work around 12 weeks. Turns out they were pressed to get me in; the original date they could get me in for the second surgery was October 15th, which was supposed to be the last day of my leave. Cheryl, the surgery coordinator at Baptist, said she would speak with Dr. Talwalkar to see if maybe he could do it on another day when he had administration duties instead. Then she called back, and I don't know what sort of magic they did, but they put me down for September 3rd, on his normal surgery day, so they must have added me on somewhere. That's at five weeks, but I've been doing so well with the other leg, so I think it'll work pretty well. I'm feeling pretty good about it, just a little nervous, which I guess is silly, but hey, I guess it's to be expected. Anyway, that's where I'll be on Wednesday, and then I'll come home on Thursday. Think good thoughts for me, okay? Thanks!
