Surgery date change

I just got a call from the surgeon's office.  There was some kind of emergency today so they had to bump my surgery date.  Instead of Tuesday the 18th it will be Wednesday the 19th. 

 

I am fine with that because this has not been the best week for me.  Sixteen years of teaching and I never had pink eye.  Last Friday, I looked in the mirror to find my eye was oozing-yuk!  I had to get drops from Patricia's office.  Then Tuesday, I came down with a stomach virus!  So, an extra day to recuperate from that is fine with me.

 

Pre-admission testing was this past Monday.  I did well.  My pulmonary doctor was pleased with my x-ray and pft so she has released me from her care altogether.  Yay!  So, at least I am going into this in top form.

 

Oh, and I found out more about the surgery itself.  It should take about an hour and a half.  If they remove the right lobe only, it will be a one night stay.  If they remove it all, probably 2 or 3 nights because I would have a drain in my neck.  They decide by taking "frozen sections" and sending them to pathology while I am under.  So, I am hoping for the best. 

 

They told me I can eat whatever I want the day before.  I told them that they may find a 40 pound chocolate bunny in there!

 

Happy Easter to you all!
