preop

Dear one and all- My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday May 12th at 10:20, it will be anterior, Dr Thomas Schildwachter is the surgeon. He is a former lacrosse player and has bummed up knees because of it. He does lots of hips and in fact I will be his 2nd one on Tuesday. He promised he would practice on the one a head of me.

I will be at Martha Jefferson Hosp. until Friday if all goes well and then go to Lovingston Health Care Center on Front St. I will let you know when and if I need food. I think I will be pretty out of it while at the hospital so please hold your visits until Lovingston at least.

I've had preop pysical and EKG and have had some blood taken so in case I have to have an infusion they can match it. My blood work at the physical showed low thyroid but good other than that. So I hope I 'm in good shape.

It may take me a few days to make a post unless I can teach Jack how to do it. We will try to keep it up to date.

I appreciate so much everyone's concern and loving thoughts. I will be carried through all of this on your love.

  2. Dear Sondra,
    You will be up and walking in a day. Best of luck and best to the surgeon. We are going to be out of town for most of the next 10 days. Please call this week if you want to talk.
