Ricky: Hey, guess what? I'm going in for surgery tomorrow
Lucy: What?!? What do you mean?
Ricky: Yeah, the doctor called me last night. It was really weird, he called me in the evening from his private phone
Lucy: Strange…
Lucy: So what happened?
Ricky: He said there was an opening and that he can write me in, but I'd have to let him know on the spot.
Lucy: Wow, I'm so happy for you
Ricky: Remember when they told me 2026 at the hospital
Lucy: Might as well sign up the other knee :)
Ricky: I know, eh
Ricky: Anyway, it's next Thurs in Burlington.
Lucy: Oh, so not in Oakville? That's ok I guess, doesn't matter where as long as the care is ok.
Ricky: yeah, but I'm scared. It's gonna be my first surgery!
Lucy: I'm sure they'll put you under for the whole thing and you'll wake up and it will be over.
Ricky: I know, but the wait and build up before will kill me!
Lucy: It'll be ok, think of your new knee :)
Ricky: Yeah, you're right.
Lucy: Hey, I gotta get back to work. Let's meet for lunch.
Ricky: Ok, text you later, bye
Lucy: bye
Ricky will have a knee surgery next Thursday in Burlington. This is much sooner than the expected 2026. Ricky is scared. He'll meet with Lucy for lunch.
