Before the appointment I got another x-ray done.
I love my little hospital/med clinic area. It'll probably kill me someday since it doesn't have a heart cath lab but until then I will enjoy it.
X-rays on the first floor. Took me a couple of minutes to check in and then they sent me to the x-ray area and then it took about 2 minutes in the waiting room and then they saw me.
10 minutes later I was upstairs in the ortho doc office and he saw me at my appointment start time.
He tells me I'm probably going to need surgery. He needs a CT scan to be sure that what he's thinking will work. Plus he needs to send me to the vascular ultrasound people to make sure my blood flows good and I will heal.
Back downstairs. Roll up to the CT desk and say can you see me? They say yes, go back to check in so we have the appropriate entry in the computer system and we will see you immediately. 10 minutes later they were CT scanning me.
After that I go to the ultrasound department. They told me call this number and make an appointment, expect it to be a couple of weeks.
Uh-oh. The surgery is time sensitive. M makes the phone call and gets a 3:00 p.m. appointment.
Quarter of three I show up, they take me in at 3:00, and I have the healthiest blood vessels they've ever seen. At least this week. Bottom line is they are used to seeing diseased people and I'm not one of them, at least not my blood vessels.
I have great "healing potential". New phrase for me.
Another ortho appointment first thing on Monday. Probably have the surgery before the end of the week.
