Grrrrr....unorganized~



Recommended Posts

So I am on my way to TJ to have surgery, like literally on my first stop. I called my coordinator yesterday no answer, so I talked to someone in travel.....

Checked what I should bring, is the internet access, is it wireless, etc....

Got ready, packed, etc....

I just like 5 minutes ago got the return call....."oh! if you are taking your computer you may want to take an ethernet cord, since it depends on which room whether you have wireless access or not...."

Seriously:cursing:, I mean I know this should be the least of my concerns, but my laptop is my lifeline, I am going alone...the airport doesn't sell ethernet cords....now my hope is that the hospital IT staff can provide or I get a "lucky wireless room"....

Grrrrrrrr.....

Anyway...guys wish me luck.....here I go....

thanks, I guess it gives me something to fret and madly think about, instead of overthinking surgery.....

I am soooooo excited and sooooo ready....and scared....and nervous....yay!

LOL - Sounds like you are about on par with what the rest of us experienced right before surgery. You have a right to be excited - your life is going to change for the better. Congrats!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
