Just now getting around to updating my post-surgical news. I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday and had nothing but good things to report. He was very pleased at the progress and said he wanted to see me again in two months, and he'll xray to make sure that the bone graft was doing whatever it's supposed to do.

I'm still pain-free, at least from the trouble I had before the surgery. And the pain left in the muscle from the procedure gets milder every few days. I remarked to the doctor that it was the first time in years that I'd been in the orthopedic clinic and not asked for a refill on some kind of narcotic pain reliever, but this time my big request was just for some ibuprofen 800's! That, my friends, is a milestone!

So...Dr. K is my hero; and I'm giving thanks to the Great Physician who knew what I needed and led me to a surgeon who agreed to perform the operation. The holidays are much more pleasant for me this year than last!
