I saw the cardiovascular surgeon today. Yesterday I was told that we would probably do the procedure in 2 wks when I am back over here. My big question this morning was if I was going home today or wait until tomorrow. The dr changed all that. He is doing the procedure tomorrow. When I called this afternoon to find out the time, I was told to check in at 4 and the procedure was scheduled between 5 and 6. It is supposed to be a 1 hr procedure with 2 hr recovery time. I was planning 5 hours for the 2. So I made arrangements for a ride at that time and then got a call that they were changing the time to 9 or 10. My first thought was that that was pretty late at night. And then they said that I need to be at the hospital at 8 AM. That is actually a good thing. We will get it done and hopefully not mess up the drs schedule for the rest of the day. The dr plans to go in and slit the vein open, pull out the line, place a new line and suture the vein back up and put humpty dumpty back together again. I hope it works out like that. This time I will be out of it so I will miss all the excitement. I wonder if they will video tape it????

Jeff is complicating things for me. He is getting married Sat so Russ and Sharon and Julie and Trish are all going to be gone. There goes lots of possible drivers for me. Fortunately I was able to impose on Becky to come rescue me. I'm glad that I have lots of family here and they are glad that I live in Elko and don't bug them too often.
