Surgery time is here

Finally this Wed . Aug, 6 I will finally join all of you  and your successful stories. My pre ops were last Thurs, everything was fine although I thought I was getting a sinus infection.  I have been taking antiboitics since Friday, but probably just have a cold not sinus infection. I have started coughing some so I am a little scared Doc might want to move surgery back a week or so. I'm drinking juice like crazy along with my vitimins and antibiotics(and Cathy's mentholatum). Any advice would be welcome.Still keeping my fingers crossed for Wed.

  I think if you are on  prescription antibiotics you will be fine.. Try and call Dr.Tanner and see what they think.. Good Luck!!!! we have your seat waiting on you!!!

Take care

Thank you friends, my butterflies are starting to flutter. I'm just really lookng forward to Thursday night back in my own little nest. I ask our psych. person if my "happy place" could be in front of a steak and chocolate pie. He didn't think it was as funny as the other patients in the room. 
Cathy, how was your first day back at work? Will report in Thursday when I am back from Louisville. Hope everyone has a good week like I plan on having at Nortons. We must be positive,We must be positive, We must be positive............

I assume you're talking about George! 

LOL....he's a litttle dry and jokes tend to go over his head especially when he's in "work mode." 

His "relaxation" speech worked though.....it put me right to sleep......either that or I was bored!!!

You are so right Becka! I think I surprised him by joking. When he interviewed me the first time, he ask if I ever saw things that weren't there and I said only at night when I'm driving. He looked at me like I had two heads.lol The relaxtion techniques are good I just wish the nutrition talk had been as good.

George is a pretty good guy actually.  I think he let's his hair downa bit more during the support groups!!  He's grown on me!

One of the biggest issues us Norton's gals have had though is the lack of aftercare/follow-up so be DILIGENT and ask questions as soon as you think of them.  The last couple of pages of the packet you got from them the other day is photocopies of their business cards with phone numbers and email addresses, USE THEM.  Be as pesky as you need to be to get what you need, besides they got your $300!! 

Come to the support groups if they are convenient for you and hang out with us on here!!!  We try our best to be there for each other
