Surgery is Scheduled

The surgery to remove the protruding part of the sheath surrounding the screw in my tibia is officially scheduled for January 7th. At least I can get through the holidays without being in recent surgical pain. My PT told me that my biggest issue will be swelling but that it should disappear fairly quickly. He said it won't be nearly as bad as ACL surgery, but I'm still preparing myself for the worst. I don't want to be blindsided by pain.

I am hoping that this is the final thing I need to get me back in the dojo and on the road to feeling normal and thinking less about my knee all the time. 23 days until the knife. Let's bring it on and get it over with once and for all.

***There's a new review on The BBM Review of a martial arts book called "Me, Chi and Bruce Lee" that you should definitely check out. Don't miss it!
