TKR minus 4

Yesterday afternoon, Bill and I went to my final pre-op appointment with the surgeon.  After waiting the obligatory hour, we visited with Dr. Kerina.  He went over all the things that can go wrong, including, but not limited to, death. Most of the other possible, but not likely, outcomes were not so dire.  Not being a pessimist, however, I'm expecting it to go fine, while still expecting the unexpected.  He said the surgery itself (his part) should be 35 minutes or so, but 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 hours all-told.

We are to be at the hospital at 11 a.m.  Surgery is to be at 1 p.m.
