A Change In The Plans

My surgery has moved from Monday to Tuesday of next week. It turns out the surgeon is going to be in Dallas on the 28th. Oh well. At least it was only moved one day. We met with the anesthesiologist yesterday and that went good. They are going to give me the "Juice" before my surgery to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I'm real happy about this. So far we are scheduled to be first in but we may get bumped if an emergency comes up. We also spoke with a nurse at UCLA about what we can expect. Here is the rundown ...

1. Surgery should be around 5 hours.
2. I will either be moved into ICU or a Recovery Room after Surgery.
3. After about 3 hours or so I will be moved to my room.
4. All rooms are shared (this sucks). Private rooms are an additional $200/night!
   
5. The incision will look like a Mercedes symbol.
6. They will use staples instead of stitches.
7. There will be two drains attached to me and they are very uncomfortable to remove.
8. I get to go home once I can walk and go to the bathroom.

It really is too bad the day was moved. I was very happy with all the things that happened on January 28th. Especially the King Henry stuff. That was my good luck! Now that we are on January 29th I have had to do a little more digging. I have been able to find another lucky charm though! It turns out the greatest football team ever won the Super Bowl on January 28th and the 29th. Of course I am talking about the San Francisco 49ers!! Now that is good luck!
