Just got the call on surgery time. Reporting to Geisinger, in Danville PA at 5:45 AM. Thank god we decided to go down a day early and got reservations at a motel. Will be able to shower in comfort and not have to leave home at an ungodly hour of the morning to get there, as it is a 2 1/2 hour drive. My preop diet is finally getting easier, not really hungry anymore. Hope this bodes well for after surgery. Been watching my sugar as I have been off my meds for over a month, they seem to be stable for now.

My husband and my grandaughter (18 yrs old) will be with me for moral support. The day after my surgery my son is getting a biopsy of his thyroid. I wish we could be there with him, but he told me not to worry. Hah, imagine a mom not worrying. His girlfriend is going to go with him to drive home. He had hoped to be in Danville with us but this needs looked at.

Spent today trying to get the house straightened out, gave my dog his third flea bath in 3 months. I hate those things. Next step is to flea bathe the cat in case she is giving them back to him. that should be interesting. That can wait till I recover. My husband is busy getting the car ready for the trip, checking Fluid, brakes etc. We usually take our truck, which is our newest vehicle, but the seats in the back arent meant for real humans, or at least thats what my grandaughter Nikki says.

I am nervous, excited and hopeful all at the same time. This old gramma has some rock and roll left in her and She aint gonna give up easy!

How exciting for you! I hope everything goes smoothly for your surgery and recovery and I hope your son's biopsy goes well.

How are you

Doing since surgery I am having mine in October hope all is well

doing pretty well now, keeping to the post op diet and trying to stomach those protein drinks. Sons biopsy was a bust, they couldnt find the spot they had seen on the test to biopsy it! frustrating. Took a walk around walmart yesterday, to pick up more jello and some cottage cheese, was exhausted by the time we went home, took a 4 hour nap.
