G.A.M. Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 After the cardiologist's appointment, things started to move along. The port is being put in Monday morning at 9 AM. Due to COVID, my wife won't be permitted to come into the hospital. I'll be met at the door by someone who will take me where I need to go. They'll call her when I'm ready to be picked up. May 14th, I get the stent or surgery. May 15th, if it was a stent, the chemo starts. If surgery, it will be the next week. Same rules apply to my wife for both the artery procedure and the chemo. She'll have to wait for a call to come pick me up. She's been such a huge part of this the last six months and we are both disappointed she can't come along, especially for the chemo education hour.

LUNGevityKristin Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi Glenn, glad things are starting to happen to get treatment going. I'm sorry your wife can't come in with you. Hopefully as curves start to flatten the hospital will be able to ease up on restrictions in the coming weeks. Please keep us updated on your heart procedure. Fingers crossed for just the stent!

BridgetO Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi Glenn, I'm glad to hear that things are moving now for you. I wonder if your wife could participate in the chemo education by phone or skype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.M. Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hi, @BridgetO. I hadn't thought of that, What a great idea. We could Facetime it. Thanks for the suggestion. Best, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgetO Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I'm interested in hearing how the Facetime works for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruboak Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I’m with you, Glenn. I have VATS biopsy on May 14th and my husband has to leave the hospital after he drops me off. We”ll manage I suppose. I intend to skype as I’m able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
