Headed for Tufts Medial at 4 AM

[waynieZ]

Hi Guys I headed to Tufts Medical for my hip replacement to remove the recalled one and patch up the damage with a new hip. Its midnight now and I still can't sleep. Not nervous just trying to remember everything I need to bring with me. My wife is in a panic worried about the surgery. Then shes worried about the 55 mile drive on RT 24 then in Boston traffic. She's going to have a heart attack worried about my operation.
Should be there four days then home to my parts/fish room and my hospital bed. At least I'll have my lap top and a 180 gal tank of African cichlids to keep me company. The worst part will be, being stuck in the house now that the weather is cooling off to some nice temp.
See you guys in a couple of days! :faint:

I've heard this story from several different sources about a famous minister from Great Britain. Some time back he was awakened in the middle of the night and saw this horrible being at the foot of his bed.

He sensed it was satan himself.

His response...

"Oh, it's only you."

... and went back to sleep.

Point being worry is completely overrated. ;)

Prayers said for you and your family Wayne.

Best of luck in surgery Wayne, hips are a dime a dozen procedure anymore but anytime you're in a medical facility it never hurts to have a little luck. Look forward to your report. :thumbsup:

:lol:

Curtis is that the old old one or the new old one:willy: I get so confused!!
I got awoken in the recovery room twice both times to tell me to qiuiet down yelling in my sleep 4- 5mg oxcicodone morphene and Celebrex! Same thing up on the recovery floor , my brother, his wife and a friend and were I talking and we made too much noise. The nusrse had to wake me up to quiet all of us down because apparently they were all still in Florida. Wow What a buzz and I still remember what she was wearing.. I'm still taking the Oxi but gave up on the oter two,I was a friad what I would do or say.

The sergeon didn't think he waould have to touch the implant that was installed in the leg but he saiid ther was plenty of damage from the Chromiun/Cobalt grindings. I had asked him to save the parts he removed for a conversation starter, but he had them sent to pathology because of the condition. He figured my lawyer would need that sort of.access to them.
The thing I did notice this time is that leg he did the serguery is twice the siza of the other leg, he said its because of all the stretching of the tendens and cleaning out the bad bone. Still sore but getting better everyday.
Thanks for a ll the good wishes.
PLEASE EXCEUSE ALL the mistake in this post. It took 20 minutes to write and 40 minutes to correct, and I still not sure how the correcting part came out,:thumbsup:

Hoping for a speedy recovery Wayne. My prayers for you and your family.
That's a HUGE tank! 180gallons? Do you have any pictures of the tank and the fish. I love African Chichilds. Me and my girlfriend always check them out when we go to PetCo and PetSmart.
Take care and get some rest buddy! :cheers:
