Cool to hear plans are movin' forward well, Evan, and also that your doc is a "straight shooter." Whenever you get the target date, I'll get it on my calendar for a visit during your recovery time at home. I'll be sure to show up with "comfort food" in hand, too! :)

Visitors and comfort food are always welcome, Bob, so bring your friends, too! Hopefully the time at home will be short - will be hard for me to stay house=bound for long!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I gotta get on that scooter by this weekend, provided the snow melts by then. Supposed to be back in the 50s by next week; I can Vespa around when it's that warm!

Finally got in to see the actual surgeon on Friday (the 13th!),
So, now they work out pre-authorization and surgery center approvals with the insurance folks, and we book a date. Probably 30-45 days out, if the insurance stuff goes through in a timely manner (no assurances, just hope, for now).

what's the latest word on a date and how are you getting along .. :?: ..

Sorry to have been absent these last couple of weeks, you all. As usual, Mark hit it on the head, there's been a lot going on.

Have the surgery lined up for April 1st (yeah, I know) at 12:15pm, which means, according to this doc's protocol, that I'll be heading home by 5:30/6:00 that day.

It's been an interesting few weeks since getting that date established, with lots of due diligence between the doc and the insurance folks, making sure the paperwork has been flowing on a timely basis, lots of prodding, phone calls and emails, but, in the end, it's all pre-approved (including the post-op therapy work) and all the providers know what's happening.

It just takes time to connect the dots, and between that, my Parks & Rec gig, family stuff, the holidays, and a fair amount of "nesting" to get the house in order, time has escaped me. And, I decided to bring a gas line to the kitchen and put in a gas range, but I'm not doing the work, just coordinating the project; waiting now on a range delivery date to put all those wheels in motion, including 'donating' my electric range to my daughter and her fiance, who will be glad to have it!

And, during all this time, true to the doc's prediction, this osteoarthritis has marched on, with the pain becoming more constant and persistent, despite some prescription (but very low-dose) pain meds, supplemented by Tylenol and Naproxen. There was a time where the pain didn't wake me up during the night, but no more.

But, the end is in sight, and as long as I can go into the O.R. on April Fool's Day and not emerge with one leg shorter than the other ("April Fool!"), I'll be on the way to the "new life" that many have spoken of. When I heard April 1st, it seemed like forever, but the time surely does fly by the older I get, so it'll be here before I'm really "ready," at least in one category or another.
