Your The Best...

Rocko, Good luck tomorrow!

Hey Rocko, I know you can't help feeling anxious. Just follow your doctor's orders for the day-before prep and then you're out of it for a bit--literally. The surgery itself is "easy"--just like taking a nap. Once you're on the other side, you'll be busy walking, drinking, walking, drinking . . . and sipping broth, sucking on sugar-free popsicles, and, proably, dozing off in a recliner. It's not as bad as it sounds--just mostly uncomfortable and boring, like waiting in doctors' offices for appointments and standing in line at the DMV. We're pulling for and confident that you'll enjoy the ride!

Rocko dont sweat it youll do fine.  just remember to walk when you can and sip water after. and dont beafraid to ask for pain meds. especcilaly to sleep at night cause it is noisy in these hospitals adam

Good Vibes your way Rocko, remember to enbrace the medication....  the morphine pump is your friend and it's their for your pleasure bro.... PS- I love the dancing baby, I don't know why damn it, I just do!!

Good luck tomorrow.  We'll be praying for you.  It's tough at first, but gets alot better.  When they say sip, sip, sip... that means about an ounce every 20 minutes to start.  I sipped too much and got nauseaus. Al

Hey Rocko, The time is almost here for you. I'm so glad for you too. As I said if you are as lucky as I was (well except for the obstruction) the rest was a breeze. Had surgery Monday, out Tuesday, driving my car Wednesday, no problem The only recommendation I have for you, is bring some ear plugs if you have trouble sleeping in a noisy environment (they sell pretty cheap at the drugstore, usually) The yellow foam ones are real nice: you roll them between thumb and index to thin them out, insert in the ear where they expand again and voilà a nice quiet environment to sleep in. God speed to you my friend.
