Scheduling change ...

So Friday I went for my final office visit before surgery, my surgeon had a small twist to throw into the works.  To tell it appropriately, I need to back up and state that this is a "new" surgeon to the office.  He has been doing surgeries for years at a hospital about 40 miles north of us, and when my hospital needed a new surgeon, he was picked.  At the old hospital, he liked to use a robot when he did the surgeries, as he feels that it makes it safer and more efficient and just a better surgical experience for everyone. 

So ... when he was hired on by my hospital, he asked the hospital to buy him a robot to use in the surgeries.  They have done exactly that, but it wont be available till Septemeber 1st. 

So here is where the twist comes in ... I can have surgery on the 28th, or I could wait till the following week and have the robot, that would add some layers of safety to the surgery.  Since we would only have to wait a week, we have decided to move back the date.

So new date ... September 6th!

There and Back Again - 8/16/12


It has been awhile since I have updated The Walk on the Road There and Back Again.  I have been remiss on keeping this up to date.  Rather than going back and trying to update it, lets just move on from here...

3 Miles in my walk today!

I am getting a walk in once a week, but its not good enough.  I HAVE to get it in every day by the time surgery happens.  MUST.DO.BETTER.
