i guess i really am 97 years old

i found out today i have to have hip surgery :(

while i want the pain to go away, the surgery is a little worse than i expected, and i am TERRIFIED.

the orthopedic surgeon said i have something called FAI. an arthrogram of my hip confirmed the labral tear that the surgeon expected to find.

my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 26, and the nurse said I'd be off work (with a desk job!) for 3-4 weeks. physical therapy 1-2x/week for 12 weeks. my estimated return-to-work date with no restrictions would be the end of November.
