oh, and...

I was very impressed that my surgeon called yesterday to check up on me and see how I was doing. Yes, the surgeon himself, not a minionion, called on a Sunday. Now, the phone readout said he was at the hospital, so I'm guessing he had surgery scheduled and was filling in time, but still, I thought that was pretty nice of him! He filled me in on the surgery itself (everything was fairly straightforward, he said, with one side needing a bit more repair than the other), told me the post-op bleeding I'd had was nothing to be worried about, said it sounded as if I was well on the way (he sounded distinctly pleased that I hadn't found the need to use much of the percocet--I think all in all I'll have used fewer than half a dozen of the 40 they gave me), and said he'd see me in his office in a week.

I've found surgeons in general to be fairly good that way. One called my mom at home in Minnesota from post-op to let her know I was okay. (The doctor and I being at a hospital in DC.)

Wow! That's really thoughtful and considerate of him to have done.

Glad you came through ok

Fortunately, they seem to have done--always the best course!
