Well there's just a night's sleep separating me from the operation to replace my right knee. I'm on at 0900 tomorrow. The disadvantage is that I'd fully intended to write some letters and even read a book. However I'll have at least 5 days to do that after the operation apparently.
I've discovered that we are allowed our phones or iPads and that there is wifi. So instead of being separated from my phone for 24 hours until tomorrow night I am able to communicate to my heart's contentment. Mind you writing emails, comments and now a post on the iPhone is an interesting experience.
So this is me signing off until after the operation and when I'm back in the land of the living.
Best wishes! Nice temp tat there GB ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaz.
DeleteAll the best for a full and speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cynthia.
DeleteI hope that all goes well Graham. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOne always needs at least a small element of luck when it comes to surgery. So thanks YP.
DeleteGood luck. See you on Tuesday. I am sure you will be skipping about in no time. 😀😘
ReplyDeleteWell Pat perhaps skipping will be overstating it. I'll settle for a brisk walk down the ward.
DeleteI'm trying to guess what TKR might mean, but so far can't think of anything sensible. Well, hopefully the doctor knows! Wish you a good result of the op. And glad to know you'll have wifi for distraction :)
ReplyDeleteWell the surgeon wrote it Monica so I, too, hope he does. Perhaps This Knee Right.
DeleteWell done you for blogging on the run (so to speak). They say that wi-fi is the new basic need at the bottom of Maslows Needs hierarchy.
ReplyDeleteCarol I'd put wifi much higher up than bottom.
DeleteBest wishes for a speedy recovery, Graham. I'm sure you will heal faster with your devices at hand.
ReplyDeletePauline a contented person always heals faster. Access to my friends always makes me contented.
DeleteI hope your surgery goes well and that you recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Red.
DeleteAll the best. I hope it all goes well. A friend of mine recently had the same op', and she's now running around like a spring lamb.
ReplyDeleteWell Cro a spring lamb I'll never be but if I can frolic like one I'll be well content.
DeleteLooking forward to your return to the cybersphere, Graham. See...if you were down this way, your operation would already be over and done with.
ReplyDeleteTake good care...knees up, Mother Brown! :)
Ah Lee the advantages of time travel.
DeleteGood luck. TKR.........Trashed Knee Right?....Right.
ReplyDeleteAdrian trust you to come up with the obviously sensible answer. It was trashed in my fencing days.
DeleteGB I pray that your op goes well and that even though your doc has not mentioned any benefits of the surgery that he is more than qualified to perform the op.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you that you have access to wifi, this surely will make it easier...I know it has made it easier for me to know how you're doing during this time.
Adrian above always makes me laugh Trashed Knee Right...I'm sure he made you laugh too.
I asked the surgeon Virginia and Monica: TKR = Total Knee Replacement
