Yeah, that does a lot of good, buddy. As a member of the medical office staff, she REALLY should have used that as an opportunity to educate him; but then, she probably didn't want to talk to him any more than necessary.<br /><br />Such good ideas in preparing for your surgery. Hope all goes well and that the results are very helpful for you.kath001https://www.blogger.com/profile/15419353146614030036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-33521116711160707162020-05-16T07:47:09.012-04:002020-05-16T07:47:09.012-04:00I do not understand people ignoring the need to we...I do not understand people ignoring the need to wear masks--especially in medical facilities. I have blood draws monthly, and the lab I use provides masks and requires that everyone use one properly. It sounds like you're nearly set for your surgery.

Check in line was outside so they didn't let people in until there was space and they were masked.

I used a walker for only a week, but then again, it wasn't a foot I had to walk on. Plus with knee surgery, they want you up and walking. I also had home PT for a couple of weeks. I had that shower thinghy, too. Only used it a few times. I was off painkillers within the first week - just tylenol. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of pain I had. <br /><br />It will be exciting for you when its done and over with and you will be able to walk with no pain. It will all be worth it. I'm excited for you! Debby https://www.blogger.com/profile/02574297621214864538noreply@blogger.com
