Hi, Moto!
So we just talked some more. Pain-wise, he'd love to get the surgery out of the way ASAP. However... he's got stuff to wrap up at work; then starts the new stuff on 11/19. Plus the Disney trip starting 12/5, doesn't want to mess that up.
Trying to figure out if he could possibly have the knee surgery before Christmas, and have time then to recover (so missing less time from work than he would otherwise.) Of course that would be rough for the holidays, but I don't know. What can we do? There's not going to be a great solution, I don't think.
