March because he was being restricted in how many he could schedule. Then he got the go ahead to do more and I got in before Christmas to have my knee replaced. That was the 15th.

I had my right hip done in June. That I had delayed until after I was vaccinated, but it looked like they would have cancelled it if I hadn't first. That was originally supposed to have been last Jan 18.

My cat's dental surgery was scheduled 12/28 and had to be postponed because staff had COVID.

But I had to reschedule due to being sick. I’m waiting on my Covid test results(was scheduled before I got sick).
