Mercury Sextile MC and then ASC

 "A good time to communicate with others" says astrodienst, to the woman who speaks to no-one but doctors and technicians.

I just read what I wrote on the 7th about feeling SO much better because I'd made the decision to get my hip replaced before the knee job, which would be funny now if my sense of humor hadn't disappeared. 

What happened, in a little more detail, is that I told the surgeon yes, I'd like my hip replaced but I want another month of physical therapy. OK, he says. And then, I say, how long does it take to actually schedule the surgery? Six weeks, he says. Oh, OK, says the person with no brain, I'll do another month of therapy then and make an appointment to come back when that's done and then I'll just wait six weeks while you fit me into your schedule. Yes, that sounds just fine.

As soon as I get home my brain begins to work and I realize that gives me TEN weeks to get stronger, and call the surgeon's office to say hey, I'd like to get scheduled for surgery now as six weeks gives me a month and a half for more PT, but of course I can't do it over the phone and have to make an appointment to go and say it in person, and the first appointment they can give me to do that is April 29th but they will happily put me on the cancellation list.  

So as for what I'm supposed to be doing today, I haven't spoken to a soul and probably won't have by the time I go to sleep, so any plans I can mange to make today will be made by me alone and we can all see from the above how good I am at that.
