My Journey has Begun

Even though I had my consult a month ago, I still had not moved toward making any of the pre-op appointments. I'm not sure why. I just hadn't. In fact, they were basically out of my mind while I continued to dig deep in research. I get a phone call today. The conversation went something like this: Hospital: We need information before your procedure. Gigee: I have a procedure? Hospital: We do have you on our list. Gigee: Really? I have a procedure? What procedure do I have? Hospital:To be honest, I'm not sure, I won't be able to see until after page 2 of your information. Gigee: Ok, I'm game. What do you need. So the questions begin. And then.... Hospital: We have you as married. Gigee: OMG, I'm married! Who is he? Can I get a formal introduction before this unknown procedure?? Hospital: Laughing - you are making my day. Gigee: I'm making yours? You just found me a husband! You've made my decade!! Gigee: Do we know the procedure yet? Hospital: Not yet, close. Oh, btw, did you know your home phone is disconnected? Gigee: My phone is disconnected?? Well no wonder my husband can't call me! Hospital: I'm so embarrassed, I misread my notes, that was the person I called before you that is disconnected. Gigee: Mean ol husband not calling me... Do I have a procedure yet? Hospital: Yes ma'am. Endoscopy on the 17. Gigee: Thanks! So after that, I figured I may as well buck up and get the rest started so I am no enrolled in my lifeskills class, beginning January 4 and will call to schedule the rest when the office is open. So my journey begins. Can't thank you all enough for letting me lurk since *cough* July. And now that my journey has started, I'll be working on my profile. Expect to hear tons more from me *Grin* Gigee

Hi Gigee, Congrats on beginning your process, and on finding a husband, really sorry to hear about your phone disconnect tho lmao, too funny. Oh and you will love your procedure, the mind eraser drugs are lovely! Linda

I really don't know why I put it off, being as excited as I am that it has now started! What a shame the husband was so short lived. Had him about 3 minutes, couldn't delaying having her change it to single any longer lol Gigee

Hi Gigee, Best of luck on your journey. I agree with Linda the drugs are mind erasers, don't remember a thing about the procedure after the iv. Love your sense of humor. Ellen

Thank you Ellen. I'm more than willing to not remember a thing lol. Keep smiling! Gigee

Too funny Gigee....Good luck on journey it has only just begun
