The sky was blue this morning. The leaves were a penetrating green.
I never noticed any of that yesterday morning. We went to Dr. Sise first. He first said he read the reports and was
sorry, then after checking the pulse in my legs, he told me to come back in a
year. I really, flat out like that kind of doctor’s appointment.
We had a small carb before going to the main Hospital
for the Pre-op. They go over everything
with a fine tooth comb there. The usual
exray, blood draw, EXG, urine sample. Because
they had the old allergy list, we were combing forever. If I was allergic to something in the 70’s, I
haven’t eaten it since. Little or no
reaction now.
Lots of instructions too. The night before, shower with their shampoo,
clean sheets, clean nightgown, then shower again first thing in the morning. Clean clothes to go to the hospital in. A nasal cream to put in my nares, (nose,) ten
days before. At least they are letting
me bring my own walker. It has a
seat. I’ll be able to walk and sit, walk
and sit after surgery.
I will be cheery again, after I go back for another
urine test as the first was contaminated.
