Give me a date, please?

I've got to learn to stop blogging late in the evening. I just can't think straight and then I tend to ramble on and forget to add the important stuff. To begin with, I don't have a surgical date yet. My surgeon is leaving today for a conference so the rest of this week is out. He did try though. He even checked to see what time his flight was leaving. Tenatively I'm going to get it done on the 19th. However, I got a call from his office this morning saying that they want to switch it to the 26th. Poor lady, I gave her so many reasons why this will not work. Clinicals, for that matter. I have to have two weeks off after the surgery. After that, I can work part-time (4-5 hrs at a time) for two more weeks. After that, I can be back at full time. But pushing back the surgery, means pushing back my start date, which could mean pushing my clinical far into January (or the possibility that it may not happen at all). Help!!! Still, it will get done this month and that is a whole lot better than anything later than September.

The photo above was taken around this time last year. Kathleen, Bree and I were the top 3 women at the Michigan Multisport Point Series (MMPS). These girls are my inspiration to get better and stronger and faster. Kathleen has an artificial hip but kicks my butt on many, many occasions. Bree has had numerous other knee injuries and is still such a fast runner. If I don't stay far ahead of these women early in the race, I'm beat.
I should know more about dates for surgery and clinicals later on this week! Thanks for the support everyone!!!
