LYC My bum knee status update. I'm 7 days from getting a total replacement so today...

Posted by howie (aka howie) Apr 30 '12, 20:42

I was told to go to the hospital to get a pre-op chest x-ray. They told me to go to building X for the x-ray. First, if someone is about to get a knee replacement, it's not nice to make the park a block from building X and walk. Second, it's not nice to make them wait 20 minutes and tell them they actually need to goto building Y, another block away. Third, it's not nice to make them wait 20 minutes and then tell them they need to go back to X. It took 2 hours to get an x-ray that took 2 minutes.

Also, I failed my blood-pressure test last week, so they put me on a vasodilator and I have to go back tomorrow to see if it worked.
