Pre-op Surgeons Visit

Aug 22, 2013

Whew!  Today was a long day !  Started out with a tour of the hospital I will be at. The nurse took me to the surgery area, waiting area, the infusion clinic and the wing I will be on after surgery.  I will have a private room with a roll away bed so Bre can stay the nights with me.  

After the tour, they took me back for my pre-op blood work and went over instructions on how to use the little blower thing that keeps you from getting pneumonia...some kind of meter.  

Next, on to the Surgeons office for a brief presentation and the signing of the papers. Then I met with the Surgeon privately and went over last minute details and asked some questions. The nurse also got my official pre-op height and weight...5'4" and 262. 

All in all it was a pretty good day. I did find out that if there are no complications, I may be able to go home on Friday rather than Saturday.  Pray for no cellulitis !!!!! 

Tomorrow is the consult with the anesthesiologist.

Thanks for joining me on this journey !!  God Bless !!
