Happy Birthday Maria and
Emy!
If the cost of healthcare
equates with the general pain and suffering that goes along with making
decisions about a reliable and competent surgeon, prime operative dedicated
staff in a surgery-specific suite, professional post-op capable and proficient
staff, unwavering in-resident support, a single-level home for re-cooperation,
consistent transportation to and from therapy sessions, a chef, bath helper,
dog walker, laundress and movie deliverer then it should be worth millions!
I discussed the surgery
options with Doc today. During an outpatient surgical procedure he will remove
the plate and seven screws, perform a left ankle arthoroscopy with debridement
of syndesmosis and delayed syndesmosis repair. Yes, it is all Greek to me as
well, however I get the gist of it. There is a physical therapist on-site at
his practice which I can utilize for my post-surgical torture. Wahoo! Hoping to
get in on the 13th of May and be walking on it by June 24th.
Now there is sufficient time to find a job that I can easily accomplish in
front of my laptop or on the trusty cell phone with my leg propped and on ice,
preferably in my pjs.
We had the equine
veterinarian out to the house today who serviced all of the horses (4,) dogs
(5) and outdoor cat this morning. She inoculated, wormed, checked teeth, skin,
gums, lumps, coats, drew blood and whispered in everyone’s ears (save the
humans.) Ty is set for another year and just has to figure out how he can
reimburse me for the $157 I paid out today. He hasn’t gotten the pooper scooper
down yet so maybe I can put him to work with Reading Rover (allowing children
to read to him,) act as a Japanese Beetle search and rescue or perhaps answer
my cell phone and take messages.
One of the sassy cats
found a garter snake in the house this morning, another caught a squirrel and
sawed it in half, leaving the back end for us to meow over in the garage. Yuck!
