This is it – tomorrow's my Achilles tendon surgery, and afterward I begin the long, drawn-out road to recovery and being able to walk/skip/run again with my kids. I'm actually looking forward to it, for that reason. My only concern is the silly one that I have used to title this post – I'd rather my surgeon didn't go cuttin' where he's not supposed to!
So anyway, since they're putting me all the way under tomorrow (along with a local for the more severe pain when I awake) I'm assuming tomorrow and the next day are a complete wash. If I actually come out of a daze enough to get around, I'm probably not going to be in any kind of mental state for writing anything. We'll see how I'm doing by the weekend, but don't be surprised if I just spend some time to recover and come back at you on Monday of next week.

Good luck and quick recovery! I'm sure your recovery will go well, you are young and healthy and active (maybe a little too active on that dance floor, haha).
Maybe you should mark on your good leg NOT THIS ONE, the other one! and on the surgery leg YES! THIS ONE! It can't hurt!

I hope it all goes swimmingly with your surgery. I concur with cranky — write "Not this one" on the other leg.

Oh MAAAAAN! I've been asking for anaesthesia for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays and Valentine's Day for the past three years. You lucky duck!I'll be thinking about you (in a slightly envious way) all day tomorrow and hope to hear all the good stuff soon.

I hope the surgery has gone well! It is important to make sure they get the right leg! I was once doing some work experience in a hospital, and ended up watching a kidney removal. Before he did any cut, the surgeon asked the students what we needed to check before the surgery – the answer: That the patient still has a second kidney. Kind of important! Hope your recovery is quick and as painless as possible!
