two weeks from right now, I intend to be sitting in a hospital bed debating whether I actually want to watch tv or just go to sleep.

to recap, because it’s been a strange ride for the last few weeks.

I will be having surgery June 12th, where they will go in and remove most if not all of the cartilage in my left hip, they will remove some bone and replace with alograft as needed, and then do a resurfacing of my pelvis.

I am expected to be walking by end of day Thursday and will probably spend a couple days in the hospital.

then will come several weeks of rehab and trying to get myself put back together, as we have seen I tend to go onto to social media and vent, please just ignore me

Im gonna need some help

i think using the scooter at con will make my time there far more enjoyable, if you see me headed for the dealers room please take a second and maybe run interference for me, i most likely wont last long and will really just be going there to say hello to a few friends.

Anj or I might need a hand getting that thing loaded, it isn’t terribly heavy, jsut awkward

doc suggestes ill be out of work for 6-8 weeks, im not holding my breath, it’s either going to to be shorter, or a really long road.

my fear is that i will not be able to ride the ambulance anymore, in the event they are reading this, I truly do feel like the crew i work with at Lake City are like family, I go down there with my rope all tied in knots, and it takes about 10 minutes of fresh air and looking at sunrise over the lake.. and all of that just melts away, i am truly at my best when i am being a Paramedic, and it will cut like a knife to potentially lose that.

Gillette is starting to prepare for my absence, although I have been feeling so miserable of late because of an issue I caused, and can’t make it right that I haven’t ventured out for long to find out the plan, I assume someone will tell me lol.  I figure they will hire a temporary person or do what they did before i started, but for my part I have been working really hard to make sure when i leave they are as ready as can be for workshops and other things.

anyhow, I would love to hear from folks, and visitors will be welcome while im laid up, so don’t worry about being an intrusion, I might even put pants on.
