I posted some time ago that I was having hernia surgery next month. Well, I went to see the Doc for my hand and he wants to do his surgery at the same time. Carpal tunnel and repair my thumb. I was so impressed with him since the first thing that he addressed was the coumadin issue and thinks that it would be a lot less worry this way. I have to go off the coumadin on 09/12 since the surgery is 09/16/04. The billing part of this will be a mess since the belly is with our private insurance and the hand is Workers Compensation. I guess I will have to let them work it out. He is going to take cartilage out of my arm and roll it up in a ball and put between the joint. I think I am going to have to be off the keyboard for at least 6 weeks. The Drs. in our area act like the coumadin is not an issue and I think try to ignore it. I can't say enough about this new Dr. We were talking and then it got quiet for some reason and he said that he could hear it ticking. I couldn't but he did. Is even going to come in to do the surgery on his day off. We need more like him.
