Well... I had hoped by this time I would have a surgery date but I don't. My appointment was on Wednesday and the clinic was busy. Insanely busy. So busy that they were handing out lollipops because people were waiting for so long. My appointment was supposed to be at 1:30, I didn't get back in for x-rays until 3:00.
When I saw my surgeon he said that the x-rays showed even more damage and since my knee was so swollen and sore he wanted to schedule the surgery either the 2nd or 3rd week in January. He also answered my questions. Then he went to go get his surgery scheduling book and was gone for a while. When he got back he asked if he could call me to schedule the surgery (remember how crazy busy it was?) because he said he wouldn't be able to get back to his office for a while and he didn't want me to sit there and wait. He said he would call me that evening or the next morning.
As you can guess he didn't call me.
I called on Thursday and on Friday and did talk to his tech. My surgeon is on vacation, which is a good and bad thing. Good because he won't be booking surgeries during the next two weeks. Bad for the obvious reason that I can't book my surgery.
I plan on calling, again, on Monday. I figure if I bother them enough they'll just want to get rid of me.
At this point even if they can't schedule my surgery I would be willing to have an appointment when he gets back so we can schedule everything.
