the latest knee-ews

[sergebroom]

The good news is that Making Light is up and running in all its glory.

The not so good news is that Sue won't be able to have her knee-replacement surgery before February next year. The strange thing is that, yesterday, our neighbor said that he had to wait for his own knee replacement for 10 weeks, not 10 months. Why two people with the same healthcare providers have such a disparate waiting period, I don't know.

That being said, Sue asked me to thank you all for your support when I first posted about about this.

Thanks!

That bit of news sucks. I'm sorry to hear it.

If it were my knee, I'd confront my doctor and ask about the difference in their waiting periods. One thing is sure, when Sue is about to get the new knee, I'm going to use a marker and write on her thigh

not THIS knee

That sounds like a strategy!

One that works on a kneed-to-know basis.

Aren't you supposed to be boning up for that degree's exam on Thursday?

[tania-c.livejournal.com]

I am! Presentation was last night, exam and paper are due tomorrow, and then I am walking out the door, giving school the boot, etc...

What is covered by 'etc'? World domination? A better job elsewhere?

A true work of genouxs...

That's supposed to be part of standard procedures, where the patient marks on their body where the surgery is happening, and the limb that is to be left alone is gets marked up.

I remember reading of one man who had to have one testicle removed - and it really had to go. Guess which one they took out?
