Pre op testing and class. . .DONE!!!!

I am almost there! Two more weeks and I'm surgery bound. I had my pre op testing done yesterday, and my pre op class today. St. Vincent's is a great place. The staff at the hospital moved so swiftly, but not at a pace where you felt rushed and they were all polite! The class, it was kept very informal and interesting, the instructors, kept it moving and conversations and questions were allowed and answered. I just had a great couple of days and am even more ready for the my Oct. 24th date.

Congratulations!!!! My angelette, Gail Owens is having her surgery on the 24th there also! Maybe the two of you will be able to walk together at the hospital, I am sure she would love that! Surgery sisters, that would be great! I plan on being there for her surgery, maybe I could check in on you also! Good luck, it is an amazing journey! I wish you the best, and a speedy recovery, with lots of WOW moments to look forward to ahead!!! You are gonna be a loser soon! It is so much fun, being a loser!! Have a great day! Hugz Dawn

Gail and I have talked via email. We are hoping to make our rooms our walking goals during the day. Look for a short redhead and a tall husband who is losing his hair, (don't tell him I posted that. )

the next two weeks will fly by. I think it was great that you hurried back from Indy last night and made our support group meeting. It really is a good group and as I'm sure you noticed there are a few who do the majority of the talking. I usually just sit back and take it all in. By the time the next meeting comes around in November you will be a loser also! (Did ya ever think you like being reffered to as a loser) This surgery is really an amazing thing.

Hey there. I rushed home, yes, but sadly I didn't make it to the meeting. I came home to a sick child. The class I meant was the pre op class I took. I will definitely be at the November meeting. I look forward to it. I sat next to another patient that is going to be attending the meetings too. She lives in Columbia City and is having surgery on the 20th. I hope the next two weeks fly by!

I too was there at the Pre-Op class yesterday. Were you sitting at the front table to the left? I'm having mine on the 20th as well. If I get released the 24th and it's after you've had your surgery, I'll look you up and walk a lap with you before I leave...

That was me!!! The lady sitting beside me is having hers on the 20th too! Good luck to you! If you are still there when I am than you sure need to stop by. Hmmm a lap or a few feet, depending on when you pop in. My scheduled time for sugery is 10:00.
