Sunday

and surgery is tomorrow, Monday, first thing in the morning. I keep thinking in terms of my last...yoga, morning coffee, free day, etc. Probably not productive. I talked to a TKA survivor and exemplary yesterday and helped set my recovery timeframe a bit. He talked in terms of stairs in the first week; up-yes, down-no. His key advice was to get out of the hospital as quickly as possible. I have that in mind but, like his wife said, when you are there with your self-administered morphine pump, it may seem like a good idea to stay.

Today we have an afternoon play at Steppenwolf and a dinner following. At 10pm I must stop all intake of food and drink. The lack of water will be hard.
