Surgery tomorrow

[essdipity]

My ankle will be operated on on Friday afternoon. Probably it will be outpatient, though I'd really like to be admitted for a couple of days. Doctor said insurance is not likely to cover that.

Thanks to all of you for your lovely good wishes, notes and PMs. I appreciate them more than you could know.

Ess,

Hope your surgery yesterday was a complete success.  I'm wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery and better days ahead.  Hope you have lots of help lined up for when you get home. Also hope they send you home with something for both pain and nausea.

Thinking of you and wishing you better times to come!

Hugs,

Wishing you only the best and smoothest experience possible. The key to this is stay AHEAD of the pain and take it as ordered.

Let us know how things go. Praying that everything goes well.

Good luck, i expect everything will be fine!!!

I dont think you're the type to exadurate and i really dont think there would be a need, your going to look drunker than a skunk at mardi gra, if they dont think your able to go home I'm sure they'd have to keep you in just to keep an eye on you, well so you would think.

Anyway, take it easy and hope everything runs smooth :-)

Take care......JJ

Ess:

Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow during your surgery. I just hope there's enough space in the operating room for everyone.

Any idea how long the surgery is supposed to last? Will they be putting in pins/plates or using some kind of halo?

Best wishes to you for a successful operation and a speedy and full recovery.

I can understand your wanting to stay in the hospital and not be "rushed" home. Given your medical history, I trust the doctors will take this into account before discharging you, especially if you play up your balance problems.

Again, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and then next day and the next day and on and on until you're ballroom dancing again.

Best of Luck to you in your surgery honey and I agree with Shelly...if you don't feel well enough to go home, insist that you are not able...they will get the hint better if you start to gag...they hate that!  tee hee
Seriously though I hope your surgery goes without a hitch as I am sure it will and you have a speedy recovery!  We will be waiting to hear from you!

Lots of pain lessening hugs,
Rena

Good luck to you and healing well. Sometimes you feel like you want to be admitted so you can have the 24 hr care and personal waiter LOL but then again, there is no place like home to recover.
In the past 3 yrs. I have had 3 surgeries and each one I was sent home to recover.
Thank God for my mom, sisters and mother in law, they were all so very helpful and caring.
I hope you have the same type of caring at home and be able to rest and recover.

I hope everything goes smoothly.  I'll pray for the best possible outcome, as little pain as possible, and that you heal quickly.  

take care,

I wish you the best,  and a speedy Recovery.

I had left ankle surgery in 2006,  it was also outpatient.  It was the first and only time
I've had a cast.  Nine days After they cut off the hospital cast,  they gave me  a new cast in  Chicago Bears colors.  ( Johnniebear)

Check in when you feel like it.

John..

Morning Ess!

I pray all goes off w/out a hitch! That they take good care of you and that if your not feeling well enough to be released they keep you. If that doc makes the call that you are not well enough after to leave after surgery and the insurance HAS to cover it. Against their will of course. But, medical purposes will prevail!

You feeling ready? Got your bag packed just incase?
With you in heart,
(((hugs)))
