21 Hours and Counting
Going in for a total hip replacement tomorrow -- surgery is scheduled for 10:00AM.
I am stoked...
I had really bad skin as a kid and grew up in Pittsburgh, PA when the steel mills were in full operation with no concern regarding pollution. This made me have major problems -- but -- there was this miracle drug called Prednisone that would cure the outbreaks.
Unfortunately, we now know that heavy steroid use can cause Avascular Necrosis later in life and this is what has caused my hip to deteriorate to the point of being in constant pain.
I am very much looking forward to the surgery as I am used to being relatively active and sitting around in a dull opiate haze is not my cuppa tea...
There is no internet in the hospital so I will be offline for a few days.
Due to the increase in spamming (school year), I will be turning off comments and trackbacks later this evening.
