I did it!

I got a date for my knee surgery!

It only took me slightly over a month to get to this point.  6 vials of blood, and a visit to my primary physician when he dropped the ball on signing the clearance. 

But I fucking did it.

August 14.

Yup – more than a month away. But I got a date and there is a light at the end of the tunnel which I sincerely hope is not an on-coming train.
