I'm stoked, so I'm telling you all about the latest on my journey. I spoke with Dr. Pritchett yesterday for alomst 20 minutes on the phone, as if I were a freakin surgeon. Yeah there were a few acronyms I didn't get, but I got so much info from him and I just couldn't believe I was talking to him and not his assistant. I can't even get ahold of my primary's assistant and now here I am on the phone with a world-renowned surgeon, talking about the latest in the industry. Maybe that's not that big of a deal, but when you see all the great stories about the handful of surgeons in the world, I guess you get a little star-struck.
So I'm scheduled to see him on Tuesday next week, nice long drive up I-5 leaving at o'dark hundred. If all works out, I may try to spend Spring Break in rainy Seattle getting a new hip. Sounds like fun, huh?
I saw Boyd in Salem a month or so ago and I really liked him too. I think I may be getting fussy with numbers/volume, though. I don't want to be that way, but on the other hand a little more fuel and time for another opinion, plus I can see a doc who's had three times as many RS's.
