It's set. I am also in for any cancellations between then and now.
Its been two months since my last entry - been playing hockey on Wednesday nights - can skate well enough, but imbalanced, no finite motions in my left leg, and cannot set up for my shot. Had to stop playing basketball. The pain in the hip remained but my left knee started worrying me - its still sore.
There it is folks. Once things get ramped up I'll chime in on the experience of pre- and post- surgery, and recovery.
Cheers
