Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 This afternoon I had a pre-op appointment,which turned out well!! Thursday is the day!! Less than 48 hours!! Moses Quote
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 Enjoy eating and drinking tomorrow. After that the preop fast. Of course if you were Muslim, you'd already be fasting anyway. Stock up on popsickles to sooth a possibly sore throat after the operation. Cold applesauce also works great. Hal Quote
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 Hal, many thanks for your suggestions. I shall be ready!! Moses Quote

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Posted October 27, 2004 Moses, Thinking of you tomorrow. Have a fun time, and don't forget to ask for more warm blankets in pre-op and post-surgery. I " been there, done that " last Wednesday! Good advice that gave you: slip on shoes button front shirt remove one end of your glasses (hey, you didn't mention this to ME!) sleep sitting up or on pillows lots of soft food -- grapes and bananas and choc pudding were my favs ask for anti-throw-up med in pre-op from anesthesiologist make sure you go to the bathroom before surgery And who's going to take you there, and back home, Moses, just wondering? implanted 10/20 On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 02:44:13 +0000, alice <alice@...> wrote: > > We'll all be thinking of you tomorrow, Moses.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Posted October 27, 2004 Moses, Doing wonderfully. A nicely healing 2 " incision on the side of my head, itchy at times. My co-workers gawk at it. I tease a couple of people: " see where I missed, shooting myself, and some of my brain leaked out " and they actually believed me! Just kidding.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 MANY THANKS, Alice,Pam, and !!Just had spagetti for dinner, it was deliscious(I was hungry!!)I forgot to mention that Dr.Ditirro told my wife that the surgery went extremely well. Obviously, I was enjoying my sleep!!By the way, I have already voted.So you guys, go out and vote!!!Regards, moses Quote
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 Sounds good (except for the wreck). You can sleep and take meds for the pain if you need it. Thanks for checking in. Now go get some rest after you pat yourself on the back. The surgery is behind you and you did it! Congratulations! Alice > > Back home!!!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 Welcome back home from the sleeping dead. As for my own experience last week, it sure felt like I was only " gone " for a few minutes -- a really deep, deep sleep -- and that made me realize what death is like. No consciousness. Eeek. Morbid thought tonight. implanted 10/20, yippee! activation 12/8 On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 21:00:11 EDT, plsav42@... <plsav42@...> wrote: > > Way to go!
