Knee Doctor Appointment Confusion

At 3:00 P.M. today I got a call from the orthopedic surgeon's scheduler. She needed to make an appointment for me to see the surgeon.

I told her that the surgeon's nurse had already done that on December 18 -- scheduled me to meet the doctor on January 14. And scheduled me for knee replacement surgery for Thursday, January 29. And told me she would send me a packet of info about the operation and what I need to do to prepare for it. I have received nothing in the mail.

The caller said, "There's no appointment for you to meet the surgeon, just the knee surgery on the 26th." I asked her to check on the date and she corrected it to the 29th.

I now will see the doctor on Tuesday, January 6.
