My surgery was postponed a week because my surgeon went down to Haiti. Pretty awesome, eh? While it does me proud that I’ve selected such a compassionate ortho-pod, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Naturally the disappointment was short lived — what’s one more week of discomfort and anxiety? Nothing I can’t handle… and geeze, Haiti is in need! In hindsight, I didn’t realize how much of crunch scheduling surgery after a big work deadline would have been. Now I feel as though I have plenty of time to get everything settled before my 3 week hiatus from society.
Anyway, less than a week to go. I’m ready to have my knee back.
Wow! That’s really amazing that he went to Haiti to help! But I can see how hard it is to not be able to get it over with sooner. Glad the scheduling is actually working out though.
