Had my pre-op with the doctor today. He corroborated my expert read of the CT and my talus is still broken. He did say that there was evidence that the bone and cartilage are still actively trying to heal — they won’t be able to — but that means my body is still trying. Good news for the impending operation.

I’m scheduled at 7:30 tomorrow. My doc did his undergrad and med school at Michigan. I also found out they call the main hospital the “big house”. Interesting.

I’m ecstatic with my choice of a surgeon. He’s definitely a scientist. He’s meticulous with the details, and extremely well-read. So I have the left brain covered. He’s also left-handed, so apparently I have the right brain covered as well. I’ve heard from 2 different medical professionals that he’s obsessive in the details. One of the top guys in Atlanta says that he’s seen the best results from my doc… Here we go.
