IR: Pre Op

So I have my pre-operation appointment in which the doctor informs me that I might also have a torn anterior ligament, which will require a different surgery and about 6 months of physical therapy. He won't know for sure until he goes in and removes the torn cartilage. I hope nothing else is wrong and I can return to work very, very soon.

After the appointment, I had to go down to the labs and get some blood work & an EKG done. I first arrive at admitting (as instructed) and they send me next door to GI Labs, when I told them of the two test they direct me to Outpatient Registration, which is downstairs. Mind you I am on crutches.

I get down to Outpatient and they tell me that they only handle EKG the GI has to do the blood work. I told them that GI said that you guys can do both. They knew I didn't want to go up stairs and back down, so they managed to get both tests done at outpatient and I got out with in an hour.

Now I have to wait for the surgery, which I am kind of nervous for, but I will have Jenny there with me. I know it's just my knee and the procedure is only one hour long.

Hope with me that there are no more problems with my knee. I need to return to work.

Later.................
