Surgery went well. I was cleared to work the following Tuesday, but HR wouldn’t let me come back on crutches. So Cynthia tracked down a hands-free crutch for rent, and HR said yes. I only missed 12 days of work, all but one day of which was covered by vacation & sick time. I went [...]

Went to the orthopedic surgeon Tuesday. He had good news and bad news.
