I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 am tomorrow morning. I got here after first noticing the pain in August of 2007. So all in all its taken my body, the waiting, and the waiting about 3 1/2 years.
- 1 1/2 years to become concerned about the pain
- 1 month to get diagnosed with Osteoarthritis
- 9 months to get into a specialist (I have lucked out as my Doc is with a research hospital)
- another 10 months to get to this this point
Once I get tuned into reality I'll talk about the experiences of recovery, rehabilitation, and if I hang in with this blog long enough, the activities I can and cannot do.
