I still have the word “yes” written on my leg in purple indelible ink. Prior to surgery, the pre-op nurse explained that everyone I talked to would ask to confirm which knee was the injured knee. I was probably asked that question six or seven times, even after the “yes” was scrawled on my leg. I’m thankful for this kind of redundancy before multiple holes are driven into my left leg.
