Well the countdown continues.  My surgery at Rex Hospital is set for 8am Thursday. I have to be there at 6am for check-in.  I've been told:

• No food or drink (including water) from Wednesday night at midnight
• No ibuprofen or aspirin (or other anti-inflammatory products) 1 week before surgery

Other info about my surgery:

• Surgery should take 2-3 hours
• I'll be given a general anesthetic and a femoral nerve block (to ease the pain after surgery)
• I'll go into recovery after that
• Kiron should be able to see me about 1pm
• I get to go home about 5pm
