Oh Happy Day !
OK...today was preop in Bathurst . Let me say that everyone in the hospital were nice & friendly & very helpful. I arrived & went to information & she sent me to preop ....she took my name , then after a few minutes told me that I had to go back to register . Back I went (can hardly walk ,back & legs) to get a # & wait for a call. Got registered ...walked back down to preop. That lady at registration told me to put my green card & medicare card in a holder outside of the office to the lady that does preop.
When I got there, another lady showed up & took my card etc. & took me to her office. She was the right one !!! Then she took me to another office to weigh me ,back to her org office. Measured my height , BP, temp ,O2 level. She went over EVERYTHING with me ,she was so thorough ,I couldn' t believe it . I don't think that she missed one thing . Very nice person. So when I was all done with her , I waited for the inestesist.
He was a joy to talk to , we got everything seen to , about drugs , what to take surgery morning . He checked my arm to see my veins. Said they were good (imagine that ) , I told him at the lab they can't find them , he said I can see a good one right there(inside elbow).
Now , I told him that I was a basket case before every surgery , I kinda begged him for some ativan . He said sure I could have it. So I got a script for 2 ...yahoo!
The BEST thing that happened to me was HE DIDN'T have to do the gases....I really don't know what he said now . He may do them at the time of surgery . I won't feel it then...
I am finding this fasting , wearing thin !

Cat you are almost there - hang in there just a little while longer and you will be over here on the other side. Woo hooo here comes another one.

Yee- Haa ....4 more days to go on the fast. All in all it wasn't THAT bad. At first it looked impossible . I really never want to see Boost again after this is over. I am really craving for a cup of tea or coffee in the morning . It was one of our rituals. I will soon be able to have them again. Scared or anxious , don't know which I am .
Ann , how are making out , did you get a fill , or was that the problem ?
