Good luck to both of you wolf. My thoughts are with you.

Prayers for momwolf on the way.

Thanks, gang.

Today I had to pick up the boob-o-vision films and deliver them to the surgeon. The surgeon's secretary worked some magic and got the women's center to have them ready sooner than they're supposed to provide such thing (they say 24 hours minimum), but it worked out.

I didn't have to deliver them to the office, could have dropped them off at the secretary's house tonight, but this got me out of the house for a bit, and I got a chance to talk to the doc for a while. She made me some very yummy tea with blueberry flavor.

I don't think I've ever had a doc do that for me before. Actually, I know I haven't. She also makes a mean fruit dip.

Tomorrow is the visit with the endocrinologist, and then I have to call the surgical center to get the details on Thursday's surgery.

MMmmm....It seems she has an awesome daughter.

I'm glad.

I'm starting to put together my bag of things to keep me amused for 5 hours, which is how long I've been told that I'll be at the hospital tomorrow.

We report at noon, go-time is supposed to be around 1330.

So far I have:

Crackberry
Kindle
Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP
Snacks

Going back and forth on whether to take a craft project.

Go ahead and bring it, cuz you know if you don't you'll wish you did. And good luck. Happy thoughts happy thoughts happy thoughts.....to you and mom!

Trilby · 04-08-2009, 03:39 PM

I'd bring the craft project, too. you never know how fidgety you're gonna be. Your hands might need to do it. Plus, you can post pics of it later!

classicman · 04-08-2009, 04:37 PM

perhaps a book to read or a soduko...
My best to you and momwolf.

wolf · 04-09-2009, 12:06 AM

Book ... check (actually, I have at least 10 unread books on the Kindle, so I should be good for a while. I was just recommended John Scalzi's Android Dreams by a friend, so that's what I'm most likely to read, although since I may not be in a position to retain what I'm reading, I do have The Complete Sherlock Holmes and The Complete Lovecraft at my disposal as well.

Sudoku ... check (have sudoku game on the Crackberry, since it came with it. Also have downloaded two games (God of War: Betrayal and Watchmen) that may be pretty much unplayable given the Crackberry keyboard layout.

I kind of have a tradition of taking a craft project along to momwolf's surgeries ... usually a cross stitch. I was rummaging around in a messenger bag and found a "counted needlepoint" I'd forgotten about.

It is of a ladybug, which is momwolf's favorite insect (in retrospect, only favorite insect), so much so that I and my sister have been placed on "ladybug bans" as far as buying her things that have ladybugs on them, as the collection has a tendency to get out of control. I regularly violate the ban and get away with it because whatever I find is just so gosh-darn cute.

wolf · 04-09-2009, 02:12 PM

Momwolf is out of surgery. The doc said she is doing well!

Pie · 04-09-2009, 02:19 PM

Good!

Queen of the Ryche · 04-09-2009, 03:10 PM

Woo Hoo!!! How are you feeling?

classicman · 04-09-2009, 03:49 PM

Thank Everbody! Great news wolf, so glad to hear it.

wolf · 04-09-2009, 09:50 PM

I am feeling very much more relaxed. Momwolf is happily watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on the Game Show Channel.

The staff at Lansdale Hospital couldn't have been nicer and more professional, which made the experience that much better (I never had much good to say about the two previous incarnations, but I hear that Abington Hospital, which bought them out, is really the new broom sweeping clean over there).

classicman · 04-09-2009, 09:53 PM

I'm very happy to hear that!
