The morning of....

[nlex]

I was admitted yesterday, Sunday, April 27, 2014, 3:00 pm. Tests done, IV in, decent nights sleep. Mom and husband here. This morning I had the second antibacterial shower (reminds me of the silk wood movie). Now I wait. Prep pick up is at 11:30 ish. I don't care about not eating or drinking since I have no appetite. Waiting honestly sucks. I am not looking forward to the drains, etc. only hope for the backside of having more energy. Will post again after ....

See you on the other side!

Yes, see you on the other side!! God be with you and your surgeon!

No more waiting is one of the perks of surgery. I never looked at my drain tubes, and I never felt them either. I'm sure you're out of surgery by now, and that everything is ok.

I was scheduled for aortic heart valve replacement and triple bypass on April 28th , 2014 at London University Hospital at 1:00 pm . I live two hours from the hospital and had to be there for 10:00 am for pre-op . I arrived ready for my surgery and was admitted and gowned and all stats taken and I was in pre-op ready to go to the operating room . At 12:50 pm the doctor who would be doing the operation arrived at my bedside to tell me that unfortunately , my surgery had been cancelled due to a shortage of ICU beds in the hospital where I needed to go after surgery. I am at home again waiting for the doctor to call me again today ( April 29th , 2014 ) with a new date for my surgery . I will definitely make sure everything is ready before I make another trip for nothing . I had family who followed me there and had rooms booked for the day all for not.

Glad you had your surgery and hope all is progressing well with you.
