Had my pre-admission tests this morning. I discovered that drinking a lot of liquid before having my blood drawn really does make a difference – that and having someone competent stick me with the needle.
I’ll find out late this afternoon when the surgery will begin and, consequently, what time we have to arrive. Ed won’t be making any phone calls until Wednesday, so please be patient. He has all the phone numbers, so he will reach you eventually! I will have a phone, but ask that you wait until Thursday to call. I expect to be out of commission for a little while and will need rest. Thanks for understanding. The number for the patient information desk is 212-639-7081.
I am currently in a state of medium-grade anxiety. I’m trying not to think about the particulars, or I’ll be in a full blown panic. I can tell someone calmly about my upcoming procedure and recovery phase, and as long as I don’t really think about the details, I’m okay. I guess this is considered the great state of denial.
