Thanks Susan,
Yes I agree I live with my mom and am still with my kids father after 25yrs but due to addiction problems we dont live together just me and the 2 girls, but my mom will take good care of the kids as the hospital is 125 miles away from my home they wont be able to visit as she is giving him the car to tend to my needs while in the hospital and when I get released. Important point both of us are in recovery we both had very serious addiction problems yrs ago, but thanks for looking out for me. They beings my mom and hubby (I call em, hell after 25 yrs) are well aware of my situation and the seriousness of it. You know the girl who sent me to this site is a surgical nurse and she see's this type of surgery done all the time she says and has really made me feel better but I do realize I dont know how bad it is till they get in there and see. Any other ?'s or advice I love getting both funny just as I was typing this the hospital called and told me that I had to have 1 more test done a respirtory test and I told her I did that already the nurse found it and said good then thats all and who was it that told me I was in good hands lol???) another nurse will call and tell me all the fasting and stuff like that later today or tommorrow. Thanks again as I can use any info I can get my hands on and I think you all since you've either been there or are going like me are the best people to talk to. deb
