Surgery schedule

[deza]

Well, it's official. The doctor will be playing slice-n-dice on my left leg on Wednesday, August 5. All the pre-op stuff will be done on Friday, July 31 (aka the day after I pick Ro up from camp).

Nervousness is definitely setting in.

Necrotized means dead. Dead things inside your body. But you're still moving and ambulatory.


ZOMG YOU'RE PATIENT ZERO! THE ZOMBIES ARE HERE RUNNNNNN RUUUUUUNN!

Damn, they're on to me...

I've got a condition called osteonecrosis in my left knee. for reasons unknown, blood supply to that area of bone has shut down and the bone has died. If left untreated, the bone will eventually deteriorate and crumble into bits. As small pointy bits of bone shards in the knee joint don't really sound like all that much fun, we're acting quickly on it. :)

And if the surgery is a success, it should prevent me from rising from the dead and wandering around searching for tasty brains. We think.

Dammit, now I'm thinking you need a bitchy attitude, a friend who's an oncologist, and a cane with flames.

I think there's a thing for that. Oh yeah, here.

One of the harder decisions for me lately was whether I should buy a harness for training my dog to help with the wheelchair or a replica of House's cane. ;) I went with the harness, but I'm hoping to eek out the money for the cane eventually.
