Knee surgery tomorrow

I decided to go private for the knee operation - 12 months is a long time to wait if it's going to stir up regularly. It's day surgery (15 mins of surgeon time - with followup he gets $1800). I'm going to stay at Cathy's - I suspect I won't be able to drive a manual car for a couple of days. I passed the SES land search course on the weekend and straight into first aid course - but at least it's only Tuesday nights.
