I hope I can elaborate later. I’m just trying to get out of the breakroom at work. My shift is done, but the hospital FINALLY called about scheduling my pre-op.

I returned their message and got their greeting indicating they are there till 5:30. It was 4:15, so I don’t know why there was no answer. No offer for me to leave a message, either.

Today marks one week till my old knee gets removed and classified as medical waste. I’m glad I realized the date because as of today I cannot take any NSAIDS: no ibuprofen, or aspirin. I think I can take acetaminophen, but my pain usually laughs at that stuff. I’m better off eating chocolate for the endorphin release. I think I have to stop taking supplements too.

I have a couple of things to buy before I leave here—until AUGUST. Yes, today was my last day till after surgery and recovery. I’ll probably be in when I’ll be able to drive.

More later, I hope.
