Wishing you all the best for the 5th. Reading your posts, I see you and I have gone through the same last day at work experiences....doing things wrong and staring into space. I assure you that the thought of the surgery is so much worse than what you will experience. I took the analogy of going on vacation and went with it. It made it easier to handle the leaving home with a suitcase. Once at the hospital the staff takes over and makes you feel special. I honestly couldn't wait for it all to begin once at the hospital. I talked with everyone that would be in the operating room with me. The anesthesiologist offered me to have either spinal or GA, I chose the spinal. After I woke up in the recovery I was told they were gonna take me to my room and soon after I was up walking to the bathroom. I didn't feel like eating anything that first night but by the next morning I was able to order anything on the menu so I had a nice omelet, orange and coffee. I will be waiting to see you post on the other side, take care and enjoy the massage and a good movie.

(I queried the blood test when I got my new surgery date and was told it would not be necessary to redo). It's also the first I've heard about having an ECG. Surgical hospital said I had to visit my GP to arrange the blood test and ECG. Now having recently moved, my GP is a 25 minute drive away. So I would have to go there first thing this morning get blood test done, come back to my area for my massage (absolutely not missing out on that!) and then drive back to GP again this afternoon when they could fit me in for the ECG. Close to two hours driving, and not at all relaxing like I envisioned the day to be! I could have gone to a local dr in my area, but because I'm not their patient, it would cost me twice as much as a visit to my own GP. I phoned various departments at pre op hospital and got a very nice lady who phoned the surgical hospital and arranged for both to be done before surgery tomorrow morning. Heaps of thanks and blessings to her! So now I'm packing my bag and back to plan A, off to the massage in a couple of hours.
