jacqui.c... "Did you need to lose a few pounds?"

No, I need to lose a lot of pounds. But anyway, I learned something new on Tuesday, less than three days before the op. I got a call from the O.R. nurse to see if I had any questions.

Seems I can't drive (shouldn't even be a passenger unless necessary) for two weeks because of the cut to the neck muscle. And, she told me that I will need someone to "look after" me for at least two days after I get home (one to three days after the op) because of the meds and the danger of weakness and fainting. Not what I was led to believe three weeks ago.

Now ain't that just lovely? Great time to tell someone, eh? I've got it covered, but, ah, er, golly gee gosh darnit!

Looking forward to getting it over with. Slice and dice is scheduled for 12:00h to 14:40h tomorrow. I'll report back next week.

I know I asked you guys not to send PM's but, thanks for the PM's... I really do appreciate them. Special thanks to SINS, jacqui.c, Kendall, and others. Drink lots of cold water and walk slow, eh.
