Hi Everyone:
Sorry I've not been around much lately. I've had a lot going on, I was in a car accident a week ago tomorrow. Thankfully, I wasn't hurt nor was the other driver. My car though has about
$2500.00 worth of damage and is in the shop.
Anyway, I've not been feeling to well I still think I have the UTI I had. If this is the case I'll need to go into the hospital for IV antibiotics. For me to get the antibiotics I need my port, so the doctors agree to go ahead with my surgery in the morning. I have to be there a 6am and I'm due to go into the surgery at 8am. Since I have troubles having sedation they've decided to have me put out with general anesthesia. Which actually makes my doctor feel better, they'll place my port on my right side and there is a chance that they could hit my lung with the needle. It this happens my lung will collapse and I'll need a chest tube put in and I'll be placed in the ICU. The fact that the anesthesia folks will have my airway under control makes my doc feel better.
The Anesthesiologist looked over my chart this morning and he's decided that I need to spend the night tomorrow just in case. I was hoping to come home but I know the hospital is the better place for me. I just wanted to let you know what's happening and I'll post on Saturday when I'm home. If something should happen and I end up in the ICU Auntkay will get a phone call from Bill and she'll post and let you know.
nothing is gonna happen though.
Hugs,
Barb
