Let me rephrase that...

My surgery date has been changed (again) - this time for the better... back to the original date... and on a Friday...

Or should that be 'knee knee knooray?'

Current mood: 9 working days 'til Borneo (excited); a welcome distraction... 'for now'...

Birthday celebrations reclaimed :)

Having had a big sooky la la here - about my surgery being moved to my husband's birthday (and having already changed birthday plans to accommodate the original surgery date)... I have since learned that, while the 'day' is not negotiable, the 'date' is... so I moved it! It still has to be mid-week (boo!), but is now the week after Paul's birthday (yay!)

An easier ACL decision

In Googling 'no ACL' to see people's perceptions of life without an ACL, I was highly amused by this headline that popped up...

Happy non-Birthday Pauly...

...so a missed call/voicemail on my mobile whilst on a plane to Sydney last week informed me that my surgery date had been changed to Wednesday 4 May... No consultation; just that it had been changed...

This is annoying for a couple of reasons:

1. The lack of consultation

2. That it's now mid-week, which means more days off work, rather than the original Friday, which would have at least given me Sat/Sun to get over the initial pain/recovery...

3. It's my husband's birthday... and, I'd already changed our plans (from the weekend/progressive dinner and overnight stay) due the original surgery date and moved it to his actual birthday. His birthday plans have now been cancelled.

Not the end of the world, I know, but at tad inconvenient...

Though having been reading up on post-ACL recovery, I'm beginning to think "inconvenient" will be "the norm" for a while...

Current mood: "Getting nervous"...
