I had my pre-op appointment on Wednesday and I learned a lot of information. For starters, I learned I will most likely only stay in the hospital only one night. I will have 2 physical therapy sessions while I am at the hospital before I will be sent home on my merry way. I will not have another appointment until a month later! I can't believe how easy it all seems! I was given a lot of information about how to prepare before surgery and what to expect after surgery. I still have no idea how the surgery will actually work. I had connect with 9 different people at the hospital. Everyone was very friendly and positive. I had to have blood-drawn to have the thickness of my blood checked. I also had to have to a staph infection check (my results were negative). All in all, it was a great experience.
On a side-note, I was surprised at my end of the year faculty meeting when my co-workers gave me a basket filled with goodies to help me during recovery. I was so touched! I can't believe my surgery date is 2 weeks away!!! I will unlikely post any information until after surgery.
