Closer and closer to the knife I go.Where it cuts, the surgeon knows.Slice me here, slice me there, Remove the parts that may be bad.
Less than a week to go! All pre-surgical tests are done and most of the stuff I wanted to get done is done. Still quite a few things I'd like to get done - but oh well. Had another fun experience at Nyack Hospital - I was told to come very early only to find out the techs that needed to be there to do my procedure(s) weren't there until way later. I had called to schedule the chest x-ray and was given a 7:00 am appointment and told to go to admitting on the ground floor at 6:45am. Problem was that admitting office doesn't open till 7:30. There is a different admitting area for the EKG so I was able to register there - and was able to have that done, but did have to wait till after 8 for the chest x-ray. Everyone was so nice and caring so it really didn't matter. The tv and my phone entertained me. Followed up with surgeon's office and they didn't get report from LabCorp - and after calling the office where I had my blood taken and being told it wasn't their problem... and given another # to call - they claim it was faxed last week and did so again. Either way and whatever - it's done now.
So including today (Wednesday) I have 3 days left of work and 6 wake ups to go. I'm trying to think about what I expect to see if I'm even close but I haven't really come to many conclusions. I think I'll be sore but otherwise not too disabled.
Oh and they have to list the recovery period as 4 weeks and then re-evaluate rather than 6 weeks. No problem. Meanwhile.. time to get ready for -3 days work
