Met with the anesthesiologist today

Aug 09, 2010

Well, I met with a lovely Kaiser anestesiologist today, Dr. Wallace.  Before that, i arrived at HCH in Silver Spring and checked in. I was brought right in to the ACC area and a nurse checked me in.  She was very sweet and reassuring.  she went through all of the papers with me to sign and my medecines.  I had a vial of blood drawn too.
Dr. Wallace asked me to do the inhalers (which I have only used when I have a cold that goes to my lungs) twice a day to keep any wheezing (not that I have had any in over six months) away..
That is fine.
So, time is counting down.
I am a bit nervous, but not too much...

A good friend who says good thoughts said two good things today -
Breathe through your nose.  (for calming benefits)

Fear is a normal emotion.

Don't look for a problem where there isn't one.

Everything has its time.

I think this was to say, relax, it's ok to be afraid, but not too much - and this is it !  Come on (which means, 'go for it').

That's all for today.
Jeannie, plain and fearful  but still silly
