Surgery--Again

@dlowan,

You can contact the hospital. Bellevue Hospital at 27th Street and First Avenue. I'll see if I can dig up a general number. I'll also ask a friend with a computer if she'll post something here under my name. If she comes to see me and brings her laptop, I'll be able to post something myself, assuming of course that I remember how to type.

@Roberta,

That would be very good, Roberta. I'll be anxious to know about how you're getting on, too.

Anxious... a well-used word here. Not over-used, but one that fits.

Are you already headed to the hospital? I thought you weren't up until early October.

You're right, Thomas. I'm going into the hospital on Oct. 4. The surgery is scheduled for Oct. 6. People were just asking.

How you doin', kid? Are you back?

@Roberta,

Not yet. I'm fine -- I'm taking a break at a conference in Vienna, and I'm going to return on the 29th. So if you need any help with hospital logistics October 4th, don't hesitate to call.

@Thomas,

Thanks for the offer. I should be fine on the fourth. If I think I'll need any help after that, I'll let you know.

Vienna? Did you manage to get yourself of those divine Sacher tortes?

Picturing Thomas with Sacher tortes, oh, and the rest of us too. Talk about fancy Oreo cookies..

On that, I'll plead the Fifth. I will say, just in general, that Vienna is not the place to be a diabetic in.

Very frightened. One minute thinking the worst. The next minute thinking the best (very unusual for me).

I'll be at the hospital Friday. Ships that pass in the night.

Yikes, time is speeding.

osso, I won't be admitted to the hospital on Friday. I'll be there on Thursday for a follow-up on that adrenal thing. I'll be there on Friday for my therapy. I'll be home on Saturday. Then I head to the hospital on Sunday, which is when I'll be admitted. I'll have a bunch of tests on Monday and surgery on Tuesday.

My friend has all the a2k info and assures me that she'll let you know how I'm doing.

My cousin (next of kin) may be there on Tuesday when I wake up. I've asked for his assurance that he won't be in a hurry to pull plugs.

Soz, Your reaction is my reaction. How can I possibly be having positive thoughts--about anything, let alone this. Something is very wrong. Or maybe it's the antidepressant I'm taking. Still, cause for concern. I don't want some pill to change my nature.

But. . . but it's all happening so fast!

And surely, if they make happy pills they can come up with a grumpy one.

Dollink. It's not changing, it's just ADDING a little something.

@Roberta,

One thing is for certain Roberta. You CAN look forward to soon not having to dread and worry about having this surgery. Without getting all metaphysical or mystical or anything, I feel positive vibes here and expect the outcome is going to be just fine. And I bet we will be able to find a flavor of tea that you will enjoy.

Just back from the hospital and I'm reeling.

The adrenal adenoma must be evaluated before I can have surgery.

I've been trying to reach the neurosurgeons.

I need to clear my head and get my bearings.

Thud.
