Snapper: No Rest

No Rest

No rest for the wicked, they say.

I'd like to think I'm not wicked but there definitely isn't any slow time!

I went to see the private surgeon tonight. He took one look at the knee and said 'My dear, you need this surgery now, not later'.

So I am booked into the OR for Tuesday afternoon. I will be flying home from Vegas on Monday evening..will be able to have one big meal and then will have to fast after midnight.

I will go to work Tuesday morning, and then have the operation on Tuesday afternoon. The recovery is better than anticipated. I should be back to work on February 27 - just 3 days off.

It's good to know it will be over soon, but wow, a lot to get my head around in a short amount of time. The difference between public and private care is just not even in the same hemisphere.
