Pre Op Appointment

The tour of the hospital and the pre op appointments were last Wednesday, June 6^th.

We all went with Brian – Doug, Ronnie, Deseree and I.  Brian and I had made a list of 17 questions for the surgeon – we wrote them down to ensure we would not forget the questions during the appointment.  We managed to get our questions answered and I learned something.  Not all surgeons are personable or maybe they just have trouble relating to us mere mortals (who do not do these surgeries on a regular basis), but when push comes to shove I would prefer a skilled surgeon to a friendly surgeon any day.

The tour of the hospital was fun and reassuring.  We feel like we know our way around now.  The plan is for me to stay at the hospital with Brian.

Last night we took Brian out for a nice steak dinner with Grandpa.  Today Brian goes in to have his surgical hooks installed.
