My hip replacement surgery was to be done early this morning. On Sat. I came down with the onset of a cough/cold. We went to Alpena to stay at a Motel because of the early check in time and the fact I live quite a distance away. The milder cold turned into a raging, horrible cough/cold. They did a Covid test and that was negative. Bur, they didn't want to put me under if my breathing was compromised, They gave me an alternative of a shot in the spine instead that is apparently less risky in situations like that. That didn't sound good to me so surgery is now deferred until TBD.
I can't say I was looking forward to the surgery but I was looking forward to reducing significantly the ongoing horrible pain. Looks like I need to deal with it a bit longer.
Thanks for the many memos and best wishes I received.
