    I went and saw the surgeon about a hip replcement today, and at first he said he didn't see anything wrong. But he was looking at the X-rays they took and not the MRI I had done. I mentioned necrosis so he looked at the MRI and said "Wow, yes now I see it". He went on to say that my hip would probably worsen and collapse in a few months so I scheduled the surgery for 5/16. Now the fun part - already put a call in to my regular doc's office and they said just drop by and they'll do all the pre-op tests except the chest x-ray. Hopefully he won't want more clearances that'll make me move the surgery date toward June.

    He said the surgery would take a little over an hour, and they don't use glue anymore to affix the new hip joint to the leg. The glue was causing problems so now they use a press-fit joint. He also said I'll be in the hospital overnight and then I can go home.

    We got to about 90 today, and the SIL did a bunch of yard work for us.

    Rise and shine, random folks! I'm on my third cup of coffee, so you got some catching up to do. It looks to be another spring day. High predicted to be 81.

    Good morning. I’ve been up for a little while. I’m sure glad it’s Friday. Only a four day week but still seemed long. I still didn’t open any of my new flavors. Maybe this weekend. I’m curious to see what the two packages coming today are.

    Hopefully you have something good coming.

    I didn't think it would come USPS but I ordered a medicine cabinet for myself in our bathroom and evidently one of the packages is the cabinet. Not sure about the other one.

    So you still have work to do in the bathroom.

    My gd and her hubs will be here tomorrow. He’s an oil worker so has been a big help. The oil baseboard in my room is in the way of putting a doorway between rooms. He going to remove and relocate the baseboard. That means moving furniture where’s no room. I just cleaned off my nightstand as much as I can and I have no idea where all the tanks and stuff came from. I just stuffed all that stuff in a gallon plastic bag for now. I’m going to have a ton of stuff to go through. Ugh

    I think they breed at night ;)

    But sounds like it's all starting to pull together. Do they have an estimated completion date?

    Yes, I’ll hang my cabinet and we still need to paint the vanity and get new hardware. I also need to do some caulking.

    I’m almost positive that they breed overnight. I just don’t understand how they get in and out of the boxes.
