pre-op day

I had my pre-op appointment today and it was LONG as I had worked during the night and went straight to the appointment. One lady asked SO many questions that, IMO, she should have known the answers to at this point with only a week left until surgery. I was tired and irritable I guess!

The barium swallow was disgusting. I hope to NEVER have to do that again! The exercise folks were very thorough--apparently, we get through the end of the year up to four days a week in the cardiac rehab gym with a trainer and sports physiologist. They will adjust our exercise routine to individually meet our needs as far as our physical issues. They did do our measurements and body fat analysis and will continue to follow those as time goes on. They also did "before" pictures. I'm excited!

I had some "bad" news today. My future first grandchild is likely to be born premature as my DIL has a bicornuate uterus. So many ups and downs right now! My oldest son is in town for the weekend from the Army and it's so great to see him!

Hello,

It looks like you have a lot going on! First, I agree, that barium swallow is DIS-GUSTING!!! ACK! But it is just a means to an end, and luckily not likely you will need another one anytime soon.

How premature will the baby be? I worked in NICU about 15 years ago and then it would be scary to have a premie, but not medicine has really advanced. I am so happy for you that your son is in town, I will pray for his continued health and safety.

hugs to you! I have a Bi-cornuate uterus, and had both of my babies premature.. so I know how you are feeling with the ups and downs. I hope everything turns out ok!
