Is it Friday Again?

Boy does time fly when you are having fun, or doing nothing! One day just runs into the next! Anyway, I am crabby today. Not sure why, just crabby. Well I am sore, and my baby Daniel has not been around here much. He has been hanging out with his father every day after school. Not that I just had surgery and would want him around! Anyway, I know I will see him and Joe on the weekend because it is Valentine's Day and their father has plans.

Also they are off from school next week, so I am hoping to do something with them between naps and and doctors appointments. I am finally going to the pulmonary doctor, I have a follow up with the surgeon and I am going to try to go to the dentist too.

Well I think I will go nap now so I can get rid of the crabbies!

Doing Good!

I have napped and eaten all afternoon long. Not sure if it was the fasting from yesterday or the drugs, but I have snacked more today than in the last 5 months that I have been home.

Anyway, as Denise said the surgery went well. They had me in and out very quickly. I am not sure what he did because I can't look until tomorrow. I need to go see him next week so I will find out then exactly what it was. I am still going for a funny looking scar and a doctor who needs to protect himself.

There is good news today. The hospital called for my chest x-ray results and they came out clear. Yeah! I am still going to the pulmonary doctor on Monday, it would be nice if I could get rid of this cough.

Daniel is here taking care of me and my parents will be here tomorrow. I will hopefully stop eating and just sleep. Or maybe do a puzzle I still have ten to do!

Surgery over

Hi again, it's Denise. I was hoping that I would never ever have to blog for Donna again since she would be done with all that nasty stuff but today it is my pleasure to report that she called me herself with her FIRST morning coffee in hand. Her surgery when very well and the docs were even ahead of schedule this time. (Woohoo, score one for Donna!) Donna should have the results of the biopsy in a week. And she will not have any drains to worry about. I was so amazed at Donna being coherent this was probably a walk in the park for her compared with what she has endured over the last five months and one day from her other surgery on Sept 10. Either that or she somehow rigged the coffee into her IV bag and was feeling fine! She is anxiously awaiting to be discharged to go home a take a nap. Any more news and I will keep you updated.

All Ready for Tomorrow

I had a very busy day today. Watched morning TV and then took a nap. After that I went to the hospital for my pre-admission testing. Then I came home had dinner and then went with my boys to see the Harlem Globetrotters. I had gotten the tickets a while ago, not sure if I would have planned this if I would have known about the surgery back then. Because now I am exhausted but wide awake at the same time.

I have to be at the hospital at 11:30 and surgery is scheduled for 1. They better not make me wait all day. I need to fast from now on, and I am liable to kill someone if I am hungry or if I am missing my coffee for too long. I don't understand the whole fasting thing. What do they do when they have to do emergency surgery?

My bestest buddy Denise will update this sometime tomorrow. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Surgery on Wednesday

I just called my doctor's office and they said something about having surgery on the 18th. I said no way, it has to be this week. So she checked with the hospital and I am now scheduled for the 11th. No way was I going to wait another week!

I have to keep this short because I have to go have my chest x-ray and sonogram done soon. Although surgery is now on the day I was supposed to go to the pulmonary doctor, I felt it was more important to have the surgery. I have an inhaler and my cough is not as bad as it was, so I figured it was best to put it off.

Got to go put myself together, I will write again later.
