Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hey there, everyone! I'm sorry I don't post here more often. I wish I could, but between getting 200 to 300 regular e-mails a day in addition to my Yahoo! groups, and there being regularly around 100+ messages per day in this group, I just don't have time to. But I try to read (or at least skim) everything. I think this is a great group, and I've gotten a lot of information from you all! My surgery date is the 8th. Thursday morning. It hardly seems real, as it is coming up on me. I'm still waiting for something to go wrong at the last minute, because that always seems to be the way things go with me, but my fingers are crossed. I'm so lucky that I have everyone I know behind me, family and friends, and a great support network before and after the surgery. Shoot, my sister from a state away wants to visit me in the hospital the morning I go into surgery! How's that for dedication? I'm blessed, thank God! I may be in the hospital for a longer period than usual. My surgeon relates that it would be because of my weight and the potential difficulty in breathing post-op. He wants to keep me sedated for a full day after surgery, and maybe for more; I gave this information to my regular doctor, who is one of the most highly regarded internists in this region, and he supports that. Because of this, and because of the sheer volume of posts here, I am going to no-mail as of Wednesday night. (On all of my groups.) There's a good possibility I'll be able to get a borrowed laptop before I leave the hospital (or skilled care, which my doc and surgeon both want me to go in), so I may be able to rejoin soon. Here's hope! Anyway, thanks to you all for being the support you didn't know you were. I hope that I can report good news soon after the 8th!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hi, I am having my surgery Thursday too. Good luck and I'll reach out a hand from Michigan. See you on the other side!
