Look like another surgery on the horizon.
Had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday and it looks like I'm due for ANOTHER surgery. He wanted to do it this coming Monday, but I have a buddy (whom I haven't seen for 30 years) who just got in yesterday from Seattle. He's down for the Daytona races and leaving next Tuesday. Sooo, I asked for a later date and it's being scheduled for the following Monday (03/03). He wants to get it done right away because he's being deployed to Afghanistan sometime in March. Says he's gonna be in a "hot zone" at a mountain outpost and the camp is at 10,000 feet. (His last deployment was in Iraq) He said he'll be back in 3-4 months.
Heck, I've lost count ... I think this is surgery number 10 (not positive). He brought up the idea of a hyperbaric chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) but I just couldn't see spending 8-10 hours in a dang tank every 2 days for 6 weeks! I'd be so frigging bored I'd prolly pull out what little hair I have left. I think I'd go stir-crazy ... so I put that on the back burner as a last resort.
