They are testing me up to get me prepped for my surgery on December 10. I went up to the hospital today for blood work, etc. The nurse told me my blood was fine but I was still ugly.
They told me that I would have to go to the hospital early so they could give me shots to reduce the Cumiden in my system and thicken my blood before the surgery so I would not bleed all over the place, then after the surgery it is more shots to get my blood back ''thin'' so I wont have a stroke. They give me the shots in my belly and they leave a purple place where they stick me. When this is over, my tummy will look like a checker board......
My knee is really hurting now. It seems if I do nothing IT HURTS and if I try to be active, IT HURTS. Me and the pain pill bottle have become good friends and I am still getting around but kinda slow.
I told the scheduling nurse that she could put the ''word out'' that I would be glad to swop surgery dates with some with a earlier date than me and I would ''kick in'' a hundred bucks to boot, for the swop. With my luck I would swop with some guy having ''Hem-A-Roid'' surgery and I would get ''reamed out'' and not get my knee fixed. Such is life....
Anyhow, again thanks for all the information on this and I owe a few of you guys ten cent e mails which will be in the mail sometime today.............
Be safe my friends .....cj...
