Pre- op day is done. What an exhausting day...met with the doctor, nurse, more x rays, c scan, blood work, etc... 5 hours of moving around the hospital... Met with the operation room nurse..."do you have a living will?" she asks -geesh...'would you like to be kept on life support?" .... Shit!...are you serious? Arent I just having surgery on my shoulder???
So, the surgery is in the morning. 7:30 am.
I have to be at the hospital at 5am! Damn...this is crazy. I guess I did know all of this, I just wasnt thinking about the intensity of it. The nurse's doctor says I'll be in surgey for 2.5 hours and then I will be in the recovery room for 1.5 hours. Wow....
So this is it. I probably wont be back on my blog for a while...and my blogs will be slow and short when I am. I will soon be typing with one hand.
To my friends, thank you for your support with this. Cant wait to celebrate with you on the other side of this with my 'healthy' shoulder whenever that does happen. Thanks to my mother who spent the whole day wheeling me around the hospital making sure everything was right and then is driving me to the hospital in the morning waiting in the waiting room until I get out of the recovery room and put into my room where I will be for 2 days. Thanks mom!!Oh...one more thing,
I went to Target and bought some tacky pink PJ's
( yes...pink ...me!...there was not a huge selection - ugly PJ's!!) and a robe so my arse is not be hanging out in the hospital. .... so much to plan for!

Well folks....I'll be checking in after the knife. In the meantime, I'll be dreaming of that toast to having survived this and have it behind me...NOW onward toward the recovery of my stupid shoulder!
Cheers for now.
