My pre-op visit with orthopedic surgeon was yesterday. I will be getting in-home care for a couple weeks after surgery. Bob learned today from his physical therapist that my doctor is an Olympian with a silver medal in rowing for Canada. No surprise that it was rowing. He has the physique. A VERY tall youngish man. 6'6" or more. I will have to ask about it when I see him next. Got a draw for blood typing, too, and now I have to wear a plastic band full of bar codes on my wrist until I'm released from hospital. And I am not allowed to get scratches from any animals or get sick in the next few days. Lucky that Gimpy is very good about letting me apply the medicine. His pizzle is looking good. A couple more days should do it. Now somehow we have to squeeze in a foot trim for Boots. Weather has led us to hold off on that job.
Just Googled my doc. He won the silver medal in 2004 Olympics, a gold in World Championships the year before. Here's a pic I found online, he's the tall one. I hope his surgical skills equal his rowing ones.
