We Have a Time

So, we have to be at the hospital at 11:30 tomorrow. The surgery is scheduled for 1:30 pm and we were told that it will probably take about two hours. Now, we are waiting for a call-back from the nurse so he knows exactly what to do, or not do about all the medications he is supposed to take, or not take, in the morning! {I honestly can’t believe he waited until the last minutes to find this out. I thought he brought it up with the doctor when we were there…}

Now, when *I* had surgery, I specifically said I did NOT want to see anyone immediately after I came round. I do not want anyone no matter how much I love him or he loves me to see me with no dentures and throwing up! {I ALWAYS either throw up or feel as if I am going to throw up after anesthesia} So, I asked Fred how he felt about this, and unlike me, he wants me to be there when he comes round.

Since the weather is supposed to deteriorate a lot tomorrow, {which here means not only more snow, but a precipitous drop in temperature} we have decided to take a cab to the hospital. I agreed to this only because I realized that to get my car out of hospital parking after being there alll day from 11:30 onwards would cost me as much as a cab both ways! So, what *I* have to organize is a couple of books, my cell phone and some money {so I can eat–he can’t} for the day. I should also make sure I take his daughter’s phone numbers with me so I can call them from the hospital. Or, if this hospital is like all others, from outside the hospital in the snow because they usually frown upon cell phones being used inside.

I have been for one walk. As soon as this nurse calls back {and I have to be here to hear what she says because he does not trust his memory } I hope to take another walk. I hope she calls before dark…

Sending positive thoughts for the both of you.

I figured earlier in the day too, after all he can’t eat I’m sure before then. And a cab is a good idea. This way, better safe than frustrated and getting into trouble. If drivers are anything there like they are in Colorado, then I totally understand. You’d think here people never seen snow when it falls after being dry.

A Brand New Chapter

I am wishing you both the best tomorrow.. I am nervous for you! And you guys are so lucky to have each other! You will be in my thoughts… ~ Carrie

Thinking of you and Fred. Hugs,

Best wishes and prayers go with you both tomorrow. I like to say a prayer for the surgeon and others on the OR team too. Hugs. I am like Fred. I like to wake up to someone familiar (no matter how I look). Guess it reassures me I am still here on earth. smile.
