The big date is January 16, 2015 for surgery around 4PM. With the late time of surgery I was worried about being without food and little water after going to sleep the night before. The Physician's Assistant confirmed it is about six hours so at least I can eat an early breakfast and some type of lunch around 10am. My first post-op appointment is January 22 and then on the PT.
I believe I underestimated recovery time and wonder if there will be much hiking this summer at all. The AT Georgia section is definitely postponed until 2016. We were thinking about our first trail overnights on the Ozark Trail early in the summer, but we shall see. Our current yet tentative plans were hiking the Ozark Trail, North Country Trail in Michigan (lower) and back for more Superior Hiking Trail. We shall see how long a 66 year-old takes to recover.
Camping will still be in the picture using "George", our popup camper. We still need to be out in the woods one way or the other!
Surgical results as they are known, stay tuned.
