Post-Op Day 17: Master of the Masters

If you are going to be a hypochondriac and sit around all day, you might as well enjoy it with Freddie Couples and the boys. The 2010 Masters has started and I'm so excited. I watched ALL of the coverage both online and on ESPN. Freddie is coming off several wins on the champions tour and is on fire. He ripped it up. Tigger is back and that was the big story. He played really well. I was amazed. I thought he'd come out and lay a huge egg. It actually makes me mad that Tigger can come out after not playing for 6 months and post a 4 under first round. That's just wrong. I'm also pulling for Phil. I hope it's Phil and Freddie battling on Sunday.


This morning I woke up with a stiff knee and the infection on the side incision was pretty big, red and under a lot of pressure. I quickly tried to straighten my knee out and then I did a few knee bends to get the knee loose. On the second knee bend, my incision burst on the top side and the muck and fluid came out like water from a fire hose. It was gross yet fantastic because it relieved a ton of pressure. It felt so good to have it drain.


I have an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Tooma who is filling in for Dr. Kim. It took us a few hours to get the appt. The office "chick" who answers the phones and schedules the appointments is a disaster. She has ZERO people skills. She fights with you on the phone when you tell her that the doctor asked to see me on Friday. She argues to the point of hanging up. A little later she calls back telling us that it's mandatory that I see a different doctor on Friday. Duh!!! She's a real piece of ^#@$ (by the way ^#@$ means "work"). I'm seeing Dr. Kim on Monday but apparently they need to keep a tight eye on this infection. I'm mad because I'll miss the morning portion of the Masters. Argh!
