A couple of additions

I need to make a couple of additions to yesterday's post.

The first is Trish's point of view from my point of view. When I headed to the hospital for the procedure they told me that they would give me an anesthesia and I would need someone to drive me home. I have had more lines than I can count because it involves more than all my fingers and toes and I have never had anesthesia, other than the lines that Dr. Swensen put in in OR. Well I do have lidocaine. So I told Trish that I would let her know if I need a ride home. She got off work at 2:30 and would stop and get me if necessary. Well they wouldn't let me have my phone during the procedure. I thought of Trish and thought that surely she would just go home if she didn't hear anything. Finally at about 2:45 I asked if someone could call her for me. As it turns out, Trish was on her way to the hospital, but she had NO idea where I was. So she was glad to know to just go home.

And then there is Lance's role in this whole thing. The previous 2 lines before this one each fell out on their own when they were not supposed to. The first one last 3-4 wks and the next one lasted a year. They are not supposed to just fall out after a year but then they are not supposed to require surgery to remove them either. We need to find a balance here. Anyway, 4 yrs ago, Lance gave me a priesthood blessing before I went for my line replacement. His blessing included that the procedure would go well and that the line would stay in. I think the blessing "took". I'm not sure if he will be involved in another blessing involving my line or not.
