PATS today....
Greetings all
I feel like I haven't been posting forever. I've had the most insane couple of weeks and am sooooo tired tonight. I feel really out of touch with what's going on with everyone so my apologies if I've missed anything.
I am off on my All-in-One surgery adventure - PATS, surgery and follow-up all in 9 days. I left Ottawa for Barix yesterday at noon, stopped briefly at my daughter's in London then off to Ypsilanti. Got to Barix just after 7:00 this morning and was able to get into the early nutrition class. Still didn't get out of there until 11:15 and that was with no ECG or gallbladder ultrasound. Everything looks good, labs were all normal so Thursday is a go for surgery. I'm hanging at my daughters in London until Wednesday night when I'll head back to Michigan.
No worries about the time dragging for me for the last 2 weeks let me tell you. I wish time would have slowed down. I don't feel I had the chance to organize my thoughts around getting ready for the next 10 days. Every person in my life wanted to go for a Last Supper or Last Lunch. The hospital is going to feel like a vacation!
I feel like I am really in good hands and I'm not worried about the surgery. Just need to get my head around planning what clears I'll be drinking/eating the day before and what full fluids the 2 days in the hotel and the travel day home.
Hopefully I'll do some catching up tomorrow - both here and in my brain!

Lorraine,
I have been thinking about you and wondering how you're getting along!
Sounds like you're in a good place! Try to enjoy the next couple of days with your daughter.
Sending good vibes for a safe and easy surgery!
Hugs!
