AN surgery in less than 3 hours
« on: November 11, 2010, 04:40:32 am »
I'm looking forward to posting soon as a "postie".  Surgery is at 8:45 at Hopkins.  The posts on this forum have been so helpful and informative.  No worries!

Sending my best wishes--good luck!

But when I first read this heading I thought someone was posting that their surgery took less than 3 hours!  Since mine was 9 hours and while some a little less and some a little more I thought 'how in H*ll did they do an AN surgery in less than 3 hours?

I just had time to read the posts for today.  I hope all went well for you today.  I will be joining you soon as a postie.  My surgery is on Tuesday, November 16.  Tomorrow will be my last day at school for a while.  I've been busy between doctor visits and trying to get things ready for a long-term substitute.  Let us know how your surgery went.  I'll be thinking about you.

Sandy .....

Why don't you put your surgery on the AN Treatment Calendar?  Just go to http://www.my.calendars.net/AN_Treatments ..... click on November 16th and follow the pop-up.  It makes it easier to keep track of big events for each of us.

Thinking about you very much and praying that all goes "picture perfect."
