Preop went fine today. The same person I saw a year ago did my preop today. Got stuck v=for blood twice, once by a nurse, once by the lab tech; the lab tech got the blood finally.  They seem amazed I am perking along okay.  I saw the anesthesia people.  They are going to try a local with some happy juice during the op on Wednesday. 

Pray for me.  I feel like I need it now,

I'm playing a bit of catch-up ...  this sucks! I'm sorry you are going through it, but glad the infection was caught, and that you are getting better.  I'll be getting a fistula about a week after you so maybe we can compare notes - oh and maybe pictures.  Missed ya!

I'll be with you in spirit on Wednesday, Kitkatz, and most of all I'll be hoping for a smooth surgery and the best possible outcome.  It is scary to have to go through so much, no matter how much you've been through already.  Too much is too much already.   :cuddle;

I am sure everthing will go OK for you old one  ;D I will be thinking of you with your big stick, which i seem to get more than a lot of other patients on this board  :angel; I don't now why  ;D Keep you chin up.

I'm sorry we didn't get to have lunch today Kitkatz, but hopefully the surgery will go well and we can do something special next week! I am happy to hear you've got faith in your surgeon - that's worth a million bucks! Take care! xoxoxo

My prayers are with you Kat.  When I had my surgery it was a piece of cake.  Course it never worked, but that's OK I have not needed it yet.  On Wednesday the sun will be shining, the prayers will be floating, and God will be with you.  Don't be afraid God's everlasting arms will be beneath you.

Love, Mimi
