The Catholic Church and Anglican Communion have just officially declared my wife a saint (although she isn't yet deceased). Pope Francis has determined that no normal human being could have possibly put up with all the whining, whimpering and complaining that my wife has had to put up with during the last four weeks following my knee replacement surgery. (It is a well deserved honor).....
Guilty as my wife has charged: I have "bit off a bit more than I can chew". I am three weeks post total right knee replacement and have been able to see "call ins" on Tuesdays and Thursdays without too much difficulty. However, I have changed my mind about going full afternoons starting March 13..... Instead, I will go half time those afternoons. I apologize for the inconveniences of the rescheduling but I guess that I was overly optimistic. Frankly, the surgery went terrifically and everyone is happy with my progress (except me....). Sorry again for the rescheduling....
You know that you are slow when your 90 year old mother beats you in a "running" race. I'm up to a cane, now, so I think I might be able to win next weekend.....
My new right knee is working just fine. However, I still can't dunk a basketball.... Tylenol is keeping any pain at bay and I am eager to start back to work. I will start slowly: seeing "call ins" Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I am up to date on all my mail and outstanding laboratory results so it look like things have been going smoothly. I would like to give special thanks to all my office staff for helping run things so efficiently and to all my patients who have been so understanding during my convalescence.
4 days until my knee replacement.... My surgeons are ready. I need ideas what to do for all the weeks that I will be off. How about movie ideas? I have Netflix, Amazon Prime and Direct TV (although I have yet to use these services...).
Reading the article linked, I think that it will be a long and boring several weeks..
I am having my right knee replaced a week from this Thursday. We shall see how good a patient I will be. The orthopedist who "drew the short straw" is doing the surgery.
I will be on "phone call" until I am up and about...

From how often woman should get pap smears to what is recommended in our food choices, indeed medical recommendations frequently change. Because double blind, controlled studies require many subjects and take many years to complete, don't be surprised if what is proposed now is not what is suggested later........(you should now feed your children low doses of peanuts.......)
