A little H and H

I've finally finished phase one of this quest I've been on for the last 5 months .After a few red herrings I think (hope) that the doctors have finally found out the cause of the pain that has prevented me from doing all the things I enjoy doing
On 7/30 I'm going into the hospital for a least one and possibly a double hernia operation. I had no idea I had a hernia .They were found while examining me for what seems to be the present cause of my disability
It looks like I'm going to get a totally new hip for my 60th birthday. The next month is going to be quite hectic getting all the clearances one needs to get and operation of that magnitude.
I'm scheduled for the hip replacement for 8/22
So if people don't hear from me for a while ,I haven't sold the Airstream, or liquidated all my tools. Gardening and birding will be on the back burner ,but if all goes well I'll be back chasing striped bass up and down the beach by the end of THE RUN.

What do you mean when you say clearances?

They have to make sure that every other organ system won't stop working on the operating table .I have to get a general clearance from my doctor,a lung doctor and a heart doctor
I don't know how many people I have met with so far .
Don't ever wonder why your health care premiums are so high.
I'm sure a cardiologist is necesary.but do I have to go to a class so they can show me how to walk after the operation?
I would guess that this little procedure will cost the equivalent of 10yrs of a family plan

Sound like the cost of repairing someones A/C system.

I'd be scared Shitless.

To say I'm a bit nervous would be an understatement
