This past week, I had my blood work done, urine test, nasal swab and my first EKG ever! My primary care doctor has the results, and I am scheduled to see her tomorrow to be cleared for surgery on February 5th. The only problem is that my granddaughter lives with me and brought a nice cold into the house. I woke up today with a sore throat and ticklish feeling in my chest. I hope this does not mess with my surgery date. I am still working and I have struggled at the hotel where I work to get a month off while our season is still slow. Usually a week vacation is the most they cover you.
I plan to be back at work at only 4 weeks. I am hoping that the let your knee heal philosophy will mean that I will keep swelling to a minimum. There is a place in the back office where I can put my foot up and ice it as needed. It will still be a fairly slow time (March) to continue healing. My worry now is that if I am not well enough for surgery, rescheduling would mess up the date that I go back to work. It will be too busy later in March and April. So, wish me luck that I get well quickly and can do my surgery as scheduled for February 5th!
