Well it is getting close and a few things have happened.
I met my Surgeon. She is a tiny and very nice doctor with the ability to listen. YES, finally a Orthopedic surgeon who listens and cares about what the patient wants. Not that some others on the island do not. I just have not met them yet. Now she was firm, and matter of fact about what I need and what she thinks. I realized that when she greeted me with a FIRM handshake. The grip does not match the rest of her. Although that will come in handy when she is crafting her work on me with a hammer, screwdriver, saw, etc. I will be awake during the procedure. That was my request. I have assisted with a lot of these procedures and told her I may come in handy in case she needs me to hold something. I told her I am having a lot of pain. She says that a lot of her patients go home on Tylenol, so I am ready to get this done. She said I will be limited in what I can do for about 3 - 4 weeks. I will also be in the hospital in Waimea for 3 days. I tried to get her to let me go home next day but she said no. Not sure if my partner paid her to keep me or not. He gets a vacation from me so hope he enjoys before I get home cause I have doctors orders to not do anything..got it. Wait on me. All about me. Just kidding. I forgot to ask, How long before I can get in the Ocean? Next time I will take a list. Write and ask anything.. I will answer and would love to talk story. Live Aloha Out There and if you need a Nurse, Realtor, Minister, CPR, or just someone to listen. Hit me up. David / Kawika

I liked the way you tried to present your post it is really funny. You have lot of doubts in you about your partner and doctor and her work on you. In medical treatment you have some patience’s and control till the wound get healed. It is your hip and she is doctor did she really crafted you and with her tools and made you good valuable thing.
