I finally have a date set for surgery. The surgeon's office emailed me this morning saying that they finally had the confirmation form the insurance company. The earliest spot they had was September 25. I was hoping to do the Headwaters 100 bike tour on the 27th, and I'm guessing I wouldn't feel like doing that two days after surgery, so I called the office to see when the NEXT available spot was. Turned out I would only have to wait until the 29th, so I took that. The primary disadvantage of the 29th is that it is a Monday, meaning all of my recovery will be during the work week. Most people seem to be ready to go back to work after three or 4 days. The 25th would have given me half of that time over the weekend. At least I'll pick up a couple more days of leave between now and then.
The surgery is scheduled for 7:30AM on the 29th. That means I have to check in by 5:30 AM. At least I don't have to be alert for most of that day.
Between now and then I still have a bit to do. I have to have a pre-op physical the week before, and two weeks before surgery, I have to give them a decision on which device I want implanted.
