Tomorrow I will finally be having my kidney surgery. I think the wait is the worst. I will let you know whether or not it is better than a colon resection  which I had 2 years ago. Been so busy this past week am looking forward to a rest. haha

 

if Your so inclined please send prayers.

    The Waiting

    I can identify with the waiting issue.  My resection is scheduled for next Monday, provided the path report from my colonoscopy comes back benign.

    Good luck with your procedure AND the result!

    One in the evening and one a

    One in the evening and one a couple of hours before surgery. I leave at 5:15 in the morning. You have to use a special soap with isopropyl alcohol. I’m going to have an Ativan at midnight to help relax. This time the anxiety is much better. Last time I was terrified as didn’t know what to expect. NO PREP.....yaaaaaaaaaa!

    They still take your teeth out though.  haha
