I got a date...I think!

Wednesday, July 9th at 10AM - I am to be there by 9am. No later! It takes that long to prep. Especially with my veins.
***edit***
WRONG!!!! Already got a new date and place of surgery!!!
New date is July 24th at 8AM, must be at hospital no later than 7AM!!!! Surgery is scheduled for Emory John's Creek Hospital in Duluth GA!! OMG the very idea of the new machinations to make this work tires me!

Aetna wants it done at Emory Hospital for an overnight stay.

The procedure may take a minimum of 4 hours, then there is the waking up part of the program. They won't let me leave until I can walk without help, hmmmmm. Hard to do with stitches in your GUT and SPINE! So overnight it is!! Actually, it is a 23 hour stay

Anyway, I am not sure how this will affect our return flight. I sure would like to schedule the return flight at the same time as we schedule the first one. I hope and I hope some more that we can pay for the tickets, in other words that the flights are available at a relatively low fare and that we can get a medical dispensation to load first onto the plane for the return flight.

I want flowers this time damn it!!!!!!! Joking, kind of. Every time I get surgery, it is done so quick or I didn't tell anyone, no one shows up with "Get Well!" flowers. I have always said give me my flowers while I can smell them not when they become part of the compost with me!!

I am going to get a new Synchromed 2 pump and my old Isomed 60 will be donated to the medical mistakes museum!

I spent last evening in bed and dearest Lee wrote a note for our front door, "Do Not Disturb" for me today. I get a lot of, let's say, traffic through here. From screaming babies and frantic mothers to dishwasher repairmen to toddlers knocking on my door for "pop-pops"(lollipops) that I cannot rest in this apartment at times. Hence the sign.
Today I was in bed too until the doctors office starts calling...and Oh did I mention that dishwasher repairmen are blind? Or perhaps they cannot read said sign?
I think it has finally been decided that the dishwasher needs replaced...well, no shit. I said that last month when it started leaking for the fifth time!

Anyway, back to a bigger sign and bed...I will take the phone WITH me this time!
