First off, Kathleen, glad you’ve got the hospital date set up, and I’m glad
it’s an outpatient surgery. Your surgery is the day before my birthday.
Here’s hoping all the particulars get worked out, not just how you’re going to
deal with having your arm in a sling, but also the horror of packing. Heaven
knows you need help with that!!

Subject: [ourplace] Re: Out Of The Hospital
Hi Jerry you're very welcome. Well I'm coming out here to tell the list this.
My rotator cuff surgery is set for April 29. Dr. Gordon first wanted to do with
the last Friday in March. Well that sure wouldn't work for a well because
that's Good Friday. And somebody reminded him about that and he said no. He
only does surgery on Fridays for some weird reason oh yeah I know it's a reason
as he sees patients other days. I'm going to this place it's an outpatient day
surgery place. It's not a hospital. You go have your surgery going to recovery
for a while and then you go home. The doctors office is going to provide me
transportation to and both ways. Why asked this lady her name is Mayberry who
is going to pay for the transportation she kind of laughed and she said Dr.
Gordon she said I'd like to have his money. Oh yeah I would too. I bet he makes
millions. But anyway we both kind of had a giggle about that. What's the
beginning of April up until the 20th I have to go back to the best Israel
primary care place and have blood drawn, the EKG saying, you know the urine
test and all that crap. But they're going to get me a home health aide. Because
you're going to put me in a sling and he showed me how they're going to put my
arm. This is going to be very interesting. I'll tell you this. But I'll sure be
glad when it's over. I asked Dr. Gordon if he could adapt the sling so that I
could use my arm a little bit and he said no he said the reason he doesn't want
to adapt it is huge and I could share it again and he said he doesn't want to
do another repair. He wants to do this one and get it over with. And I'm really
glad. I won't be able to use my ham radio much. At least I don't think so. So
that's going to be kind of depressing but I'll deal with it. One of my friends
told me that I should go downstairs and talk to landlords representative and
tell him I need help packing and stuff I'm going to need a lot more help. But
oh well. Anyway just will get worked out I have 11 weeks to deal with it.
