Well, tomorrow is Surgery Day.   Last week my regular doctor gave me a full physical, did blood work, 12-lead EKG, etc., and I passed everything, so I’m cleared for the surgery.  I’ve been Hibiclensing once a day and Mupirocining twice a day for the past 5 days and I’m ready to get on with it.    My nose feels like it’s constantly running, I’m frequently sneezing, and my skin smells alcohol-fresh.  My surgeon’s office has turned in my FMLA paperwork and my house has received the “OK for knee replacement rehab” seal of approval from the physical therapy people.  This means my walker will fit through all of doorways in my house and I will still be able to use my bathroom facilities.  Now I’m off to one last day of work before FMLA starts.  I’ll post again as soon as I can after the surgery.  See you on the other side.
