While Waiting

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Welcome back!

While I am waiting, I wonder how people will be notified about someone who is done with their surgery.

I do not know if they will use call center outsourcing, paging, personal contact, PA announcements, or your guess is as good as mine. We have been to the Day Surgery Unit before, for both of us. I went to have an umbilical hernia repaired, he went to have an inguinal hernia repaired. Both times the repair worked and there was no more trouble with the operation site.

This time, they will use lasers to do what is needed. They call it tissue vaporization. EWW At least i know that he will be under full anesthesia while this is going on. He isn’t the only one who is getting nervous.

I have noticed that if it was something for myself, I do not feel as concerned as I do for someone else in the same situation. I hope that does not mean that I am weird, though. :P

Tomorrow

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Tomorrow, he will be operated on. My husband that is.

He has been waiting for this to happen since the beginning of November of 2009. Thank God he has not been waiting 12 months, but it has been long enough. I have a bag ready with stuff to keep me occupied while he is in surgery. If I had any promotional items that I could share, I know there will be a lot of other people waiting also.

He is nervouse about this. It is occurring in a very personal place, so the nervousness is understandable. He is also impatient top get it over with and no longer will he need to be catheterized. I mentioned in earlier posts that he considers it to be another type of torture. Well, time will tell. He is sleeping right now and I hope that he is getting the rest that he needs for tomorrow.
