I'm pretty nervous for this operation tomorrow. I learned a few days ago that my surgery is scheduled for 8:45 am instead of 10:45. I have to be there at 7:30am and it's in Temecula, CA which is about 30 minutes away from us in San Marcos. My mother and father-in-law are coming down this evening so that they can watch the kids while Michele brings me to the Golden Triangle Surgicenter. We will have to leave at 6:30 just to be sure we get there on time. Needless to say I've been roosting like a pregnant mother preparing for birth. I've been doing everything I want to get done while I can still walk. I limp when I walk but the limp isn't as bad as it has been in the past. My knee actually feels pretty good although I just can't bend it beyond 90 degrees.
So last Saturday I stained the wood on our new hot tub and did various other projects around the house. I watched the BYU basketball game in which I was hoping the Cougars would advance to the sweet sixteen. BYU played terrible and they gave the game away. It was difficult to watch and I was frustrated.
Today, I took my LR3 down to the dealership to have them fix some things that are still covered by the warranty which runs out at the end of the month. We also had CJ Fellers come over and fix some sprinkler pipe that got crushed during our turf installation in the backyard. I can't eat or drink anything past around 9 pm tonight so I have to be sure I'm properly hydrated tonight or I won't be able to sleep. I'm mentally prepared for the operation and I'm hoping it will go well. I'm a little anxious about the "going under part" or more accurately the "waking up part". I don't want to die during a routine ACL operation. There's no way I'm going to take one sip of water after 9pm because water can affect the anesthesia effect. I don't want to wake up during the operation or be put under so much I don't wake up. I have a lot of life left to live.
