2 days.
Monday was my pre-op appointment. Appointment went well and Crystal went with me. We got most of my questions answered and I feel confident.
Unfortunately it took 4 blood draws to get my lab work completed. Luckily I've been dealing with that all my life and it did not hurt. Plus all of my test came back looking good! I even found out my blood type which is O Positive. I wish I could donate blood now!
In addition the only allergy from the patch test I have is to Betadine for surgical prep. Luckily they have other things they can use for prep!
Yesterday morning, Jennifer from Dr. Mequids office called to let me know I've been signed off for surgery.
We are now working on getting my parents here by Thursday with the help of Angel Flights West. So far we have gotten them all the way to Grand Junction and now we just hope to get them a little closer.
So, Friday morning at 6am I will check-in for surgery. If you would like to visit you can call the InPatient front desk of Anschutz Medical Campus at 720-848-4011 to find out my room number. I'm happy to provide my parents phone number if you would like to find out how I'm doing. Just let me know.
Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. One step closer to feeling some relief. I'll update you soon!
