Today's the day
Surgery day is today. I'll be leaving for the hospital quite early in the morning, and probably not out until Saturday at the earliest.
Scary? Inevitably, somewhat so. Yet I am very aware of my good fortune to be living at a time when science and technology have made such operations possible, safe, and widely available. Even fifty years ago my condition would have been untreatable, and before modern times, back when "medicine" consisted of ignorant superstition, I would have been statistically unlikely even to have survived to my present age (48) in the first place.
I'm already looking forward to the days after recuperation -- to being able to walk normally and without pain, for the first time in months.
