Pre-op exam & test today
The EKG report said that I was currently having a heart attack! It was kinda funny, but I'm glad that my daughter will be with me Wednesday. that morphine pump had better be working fine.
I told my NS's secretary about this message board, and how helpful it has been for me, and she noted the site. I'd like to write a patient handbook for him; I think he could use one, because it takes awhile to wrap your brain around your Chiari.

So glad you are keeping yourself busy, and also glad to hear you have something to cuddle with when you come home. I have a cat and a dog and they do know when something is wrong. They watched over me just as good as my family, and they are quiet too. I suggest pictures to look at while recovering. It helped me. I have you in my prayers for Wednesday. Better beautifual day ahead.

If I understood it correctly, the EKG reading was normal, but the computer came to the wrong conclusion. It gave good advice though-- "observe patient". :)
Yes, surgery on Wed. I'm pretty calm, but I've been whining because we tore the house apart looking for a stuffed cat that looks like my real tuxedo cat. I just wanted it on my hospital bed.
Oh well, when I get home, I'll have 3 cats on my bed, probably in shifts.
Funny how we diffuse our anxiety sometimes with something unimportant.

It was a glitch. The anesthesiologist laughed it off, saying something like "that's why clinical observation is important!"
