surgery cancelled twice for the Achilles tendon (once because I didn't have a ride home after, the other because I didn't stop the meds in time...did you know your suppose to stop motrin a week before? the phone registry only told me 3 days before and I never received any "this is what you can expect" papers)but tomorrow (28th) I see the ortho surgeon I tell him to push ahead with getting the old hardware out of the knee, hopefully I can get as much as possible done before my deductible resets at the end of the year.
