Skeet, yes I am being written up. This is the first time my medical center used a Tribecular Mono Block implant from Zimmer. I had 2 Doctors and a rep. from Zimmer with me in the OR as well as a news crew, photographers and 2 reporters. When I looked at over 300 photos that they took during the operation, it explained why I was hurting soooooooooooooooo much, lol. I was awake during the operation, I had an epidural, a femoral pain catherter and listened to my MP3 player.....no recovery from anesthesia. The cutting, grinding and hammering was pretty cool, I tried to peek over the curtain but they covered my face with a warm blanket, lol. The operation was over at 9:15 am and I was having a cup of coffee at 12 noon. AMEN?
