More scheduling

Not much difference in pain or motion today. Haven't really done much either, though. A little walk for lunch. Did hear kindly from Laura, the original person from Steadman's insurance group. She unfortunately stated the hosiptal was out of network. Bummer. But she was going to look into a secondary network that the hospital and Steadman might be a part of - she actually had just received a letter about it yesterday, so we're a little ahead of the game on that one.

Also talked with Lynn with Vail Valley Sports Medicine - the PT folks. She was enjoyable to talk with, and indicated that I would be seeing Steadman the next day after surgery aound 9 am (depending on when he shows up!) I'd then do PT twice a day, once in the morning and once at night every day. Suggested that maybe after a couple weeks, I could drop down to once a day. Evidently the PT's work 4 ten hour shifts, so she tries to schedule the same person for the morning and afternoon and the same two people shifting back and fourth. Sometimes a third or fourth person slips in depending on scheduling and vacations. She even said she's try to pair me with Luke from Brisbane, who Heather M on the board said was good. Need to find the other person Heather mentioned and see if he's around too. She also said I could come in a couple days before to get my schedule and visit with folks. folks also take medication up there sometimes, so said that wasn't an issue, and they have a good cafeteria :)
