Bitz 'N' Blogs with CJ Cross

So, here we are.

Three weeks and counting

My official date for surgery ( barring any situation whereby someone requires immediate attention) is February 24th 2025.

I’ve been on a waiting list since May last year so, the fact it’s only taken 9 months to get to this point is pretty good.

I’m not nervous – well, at least not at the moment. For a few months I was pretty much shitting myself b/c I slipped and fell down the “What if” rabbit hole

• What if ….I’m knocked out and they leave me there?
• What if…. while I’m knocked out and they have a fire drill?
• What if… I have my surgery in the morning and it’s Taco day ?
• What if … I’m awake and the radio is playing Christian music?
• What if… There’s a $100 note on the ceiling and I can’t reach it?

So yeah, I’ve been there. It kept me awake for months. Trust me.

Anyway, like all my surgeries, ( I’ve only ever had two) this one is also during the hottest month of the year.

In case you’ve not been following along, I’m due a full right hip replacement due to severe osteoarthritis of the hip joint – full bone on bone. I’ve spent the last year or so either getting about in a wheelchair or a walker and, after a rather nasty fall a year ago, here I am .

The initial recovery time is 6-8 weeks and then a further 6-12 months to be fully back up and functional.

So there’s that.

Other than that, It’s been stupidly hot – which is why this blog is coming to an end at this point because my brain is melted
