Duke vs. Tulsa

Tulsa is at Duke tomorrow night. I know Tulsa's struggled lately, and Duke is on a roll, but if Tulsa wins, I think it's only fair I write the score in permanent marker on my leg before surgery.

The Closer

Our new surgeon in the DC area is Dr. Matt Buchanan. Here's a link to his profile at the Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Center in Arlington, VA. He used to roll with Dr. Janes at St. Anthony's. That's how we got the recommendation.

He got his B.S. from Duke, but I'll try not to hold that against him. Unfortunately, this makes Brooke like him even more. Hopefully Tulsa will dominate the Blue Devils on Thursday, February 25th. I had bought a ticket to go to that game, but I'm an idiot and snowboarded into a tree at 40 MPH. I won't be making it.

My first appointment with Dr. Buchanan was Friday, February 19th. After we unwrapped the leg, he took one look at it and called for his resident doctor to come in and take a gander. I wasn't sure if it was because of how bad it is, or how good of a job Dr. Janes did. I wonder if they see many injuries like this in this area.

After lots of technical discussions with one another, they popped and drained my hematoma. Because my skin is so swollen and fragile, we're going to have to wait a while for the next surgery. Our next appointment is Tuesday, February 23rd.

Don't worry, I'll wear a Tulsa shirt.
