10 days to go...

I am still trying to get pre-surgery tests and paper work taken care of and am down to just a few days left at work, lots to get ready for, wish I was better at organization. I quit taking the anti-inflammatory prescription and am really feeling the effects. I am surprised about how much the joint pain affects my muscle strength in limiting my ability to lift my leg to get in and out of the car or into the recliner or bed. Also surprised by how quickly it seems to have deteriorated, hopefully that means this is the time to do the surgery.
