Today was the big day. I arrived at the surgery center early. They were running late. It’s not like I had anything better to do. The people and place were great.
I don’t like surgeries in general and anesthesia specifically. Nothing has ever gone wrong in the past and I have had a few repairs, but my brain is my best part (in my opinion) and I just don’t like them shutting it down. What if it doesn’t reboot properly? So, I discussed this with the doctors and guess what, they actually listened to me. I was awake for the whole procedure. The anesthesiologist claimed he put some relaxant into the mix, but honestly, I didn’t feel any different. But what he did do was an awesome nerve block on my leg, didn’t feel a thing. I wonder how long that will last?
Recovery time, meaning how long before they take this cast off and I can drive again, as that is my purpose, is estimated at 4 weeks.
I took a few iPhone shots for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
The surgeon handed me an allen wrench afterward, he said in case the screw backed out. No, no, just kidding.

Looks good! I had a top Surgeon look at it (my Son) and was pleased with the work.
Keep in touch,
