Negative/Positive

Negative:

It really seems like I keep having to go through procedure after procedure. I'm tired of the anticipation of more surgeries. Tomorrow will make three in the past 2 years. If the temporary thingy works, it means yet another surgery, and I still need to see my ortho doc about the crumbling cement in my knee replacement (I'm procrastinating as long as possible about this), which means, you guessed it, another surgery (for which the recovery time is way too fucking long).

Positive(s):

1) Perhaps my body is just making sure everything gets taken care of before I start my future (even more active) life, with an active (damn handsome) and loving partner, in Maryland.

2) I have awesome insurance!

3) The first knee replacement lasted 11 years, with my starting weight being 280 pounds. Which means this one should last at least 15 years, since my starting weight is drastically lower.

4) My recovery may take less time, since I won't be a severely overweight smoker. Healing time should be much faster!
