Roll Call
Floyd Hospital didn't show on the list so I called Faith, my nurse Monday and she told me they had added several doctors and hospitals over the last few weeks. Valdosta is two hours from me and Savannah is four. Since my family lives in Rome I decided that would be the easiest thing to do. I can stay with them a week or two after the surgery and go up there for follow up. The only thing would be if I had an emergency. I live in Southwest Georgia - below Columbus and above Albany.
Thanks for all the info you provide on the boards.
