Whiplash.

Got a call from my surgeon's resident this morning and he said they'd like to change the plan...would I be available to go into surgery Wednesday morning? Well, considering that I am still in California and won't arrive home until tomorrow afternoon, that cuts it pretty close for getting pre-ops done and making other arrangements, but I told them if they can get it all scheduled I'll try to be ready. It means that tomorrow afternoon when I get off the plane in San Antonio I will go straight to the hospital for the rest of the paperwork and tests that haven't been done yet, and then I'll be admitted Wednesday morning.

Currently it looks as though I'll only have to spend 2-3 days in the hospital, and this time there'll be no long rehab stint as with my original hip replacements. And this makes it more likely that I might be back on my feet by Thanksgiving, which is good news. Right now I'm scrambling to rearrange a few other commitments...but it's nice to know that within 72 hours it will all be over. I'll appreciate your prayers...
