Friday April 9, 2010: Update

Monday the 5th, I had the autologous blood donation appointment at the hosptial. Platelets were at 86,000. Tuesday the 6th, I had my preop with my primary care physician. Thursday the 7th, she called to say platelets were at 93,000. Today (the 9th) was the preop with the ortho. I had an xray of my knee taken at an angle that hadn't been done. Even I could see the bone on bone arthritis. I described pain level at a 9 at times. I got a prescription for a painkiller for now. PT, it turns out, will start at home, done by the VNA. 12 days! Yea! Can't wait (mostly, lol).
