Just got a phone call from the hospital 10mins ago, a cancellation has come up for Mr Bell (my consultant) and they wanted to offer me the date for my total knee replacement operation. It's the 22nd November, of course I jumped at the chance!! So they are going to rush appointments for pre-op through and I have now spoken with O.T explained I have a stairlift to which she said 'Oh then the knee replacement class we can skip and I will see you on the ward instead!' So now the nerves have kicked 4 weeks and counting!!

Oh, I thought you meant your operation had been cancelled. This means less time to worry, Bubba, which can only be a good thing: get those domestic post-op arrangements underway! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Great news.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Bubba. this is wonderful news.
Try to pace yourself between now and the op - and whatever else you do - stay away from anyone with any kind of bug! Put an "exclusion zone" around yourself if you have to as, if you get a cold or a bug, that could cause a delay with the op and I'm sure you don't want that.
Good luck with the preparation. Please let us know when your pre-op is and I'll happily do pocket duties.
