Surgery Tomorrow (4/12)

General
1

Well, the time has come - my surgery is tomorrow.

I have the 11:00 am slot, but of course I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am for an MRI. I think the wait between the MRI and surgery will be the most difficult - both for the nerves and for the fact that everything gets worse when I am dehydrated (I'm not allowed to eat/drink after midnight, per usual).

I really appreciate all of the support you guys have given me - you are wonderful!

PS I find it to be an amazing coincidence of fate that Donna from Indianapolis had her surgery last Friday with Dr. Tew at University Hospital and I (Donna fron Cincinnati) I will have my surgery this Friday with Dr. Tew at University Hospital. Apparently Donna's think alike.

Well, it looks like we were given the arrival time for the first surgery of the day but I’m the second surgery. So we got up at 3:30 am to check in at 5:45 am when it turns out that we didn’t need to be here until 9:00 am. What a waste of time. Now I’m stuck in the waiting room on a chair and I am not happy. I feel horrible and really would like to lay down.

Good luck today. You'll get plenty of time to lay down soon!

My prayers are with you today.
