Pre-Op & Final Countdown

Had my pre-op appt on Thursday, it was a long day. Logs went with us, he did really good. Several of the staff commented on how well behaved he was. :-)

So the nerves had set in. That happened when the doctor left the room. I asked all my questions and he answered them very thoroughly. Met with the nutritionist, and the nurse again. So off to the hospital. EKG, more blood work, and lots of instructions. The admit lady gave me a orange 'ticket' to check in to the surgery area on Monday....I told her it should be a golden ticket.

Be at the hospital at 5:30am, go to day surgery, this is where everyone starts. So Ray will get to go back with me, then he will have to wait. It can take up to 2 hrs, then the dr will talk to Ray and from recovery I will go to my room. They will have me up in a chair by the afternoon and walking in the halls that evening. Tuesday I will go to x-ray and get some pics taken, see the dr and be released about noon.

This weekend is going to he hectic, I am hoping to get everything done I want to before Sunday night.

I will try to post again Sunday!
