Two Days
Moving forward with the set-up, I located a walker and a commode.
I'm really feeling a sense of community with all of the 70+ locals who have had knee replacements. Everyone is being so helpful. One brought over a couple Aircast circulating ice water knee things for me to use and told me to keep her phone number by the bed in case I need help. Another was in town and picked up a couple of gel packs for me.
I'm doing nagging odds and ends around the house because I don't want to have them hanging over my head when I can't do them.
Today Elinor was walking down the road next to the ski trail. "How is it today?" she yelled to me when I skied by. Well of course I thought she was asking about my knee and I went into this long boring scenario, comparing it to yesterday, how I think the boot/ski combination I have on is good... Then she said "I meant how is the skiing?"
I think my surgery timing is good. Skiing will be almost done. Lots of ice and tree litter on the trails right now.
I was just looking at the weather for the days I am in the hospital. Surgery day is sort of rainy but the day after is cloudless and warm. I was bummed when I saw that since I'll have to be inside. Isn't that stupid?
In 25 hours I won't be able to have anything to eat until after the surgery. I feel like I am going to have some kind of meltdown.
