Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Glad to hear many divas are healing up!
I just got in from an evening with the ortho. Surgery tentatively set for late April/(hopefully not) early May, I'll be seeing him again April 9th to check in and set the date. He put me on crutches and told me to reduce my walking and strain (grumble, grumble), but got me started with some exercises and told me to hit the stationary bike to stave off atrophy.
It took a while to find the right match, but I'm quite happy with him and his practice. I like to make sure I can vibe well with a doctor because I like to ask a lot of questions, find out everything I can, and be able to be honest with them about what orders I'd like to not follow, and whether or not that'd be okay in a realistic sense.
Since it's going to be a while before surgery, maybe I should schedule one of the oral surgeries I still need from my car crash last spring, so I don't have to deal with it during recovery or shortly after. We'll see, I have a tendency to shrug off things that don't get in the way of walking, especially since the car insurance companies still haven't settled yet! I'm not convinced they every will, but who knows, maybe 15 years down the line I'll get a check for my accident related medical bills.
