Dear Jolene,

Thanks for your input about hypnosis. I'm thinking that I might try it. You

mention there were a lot of other things (to do) prior to your surgery. Can you

give me an idea of what to expect, besides blood donations?

Also, Racine, if you are out there, could you let me know your list of

things to purchase/have ready prior to surgery so that I can have my home set

up. I don't want my caregiver (mainly my husband) to have more to deal with than

necessary.

Thanks again for your comments.

Re: Over 65 and facing surgery in October 06

Dear Pattijohn,

I had hypnoses, but it was way too distant from the actual surgery (2 years)

so I don't know if it was effective. I should have in retrospect had another

session once I finally got my date. Seems like I had a lot of other things to

occupy that 8 weeks to get in.

Racine has a list of things to purchase/have ready at home prior to

surgery on her site. ? I looked for things used before I bought new at

thrifts, in the newspaper, and garage sales. I did buy a bar to assist me in

getting out of bed in the Sammons catalog that sure came in handy. I got an

adjustable chair in the newspaper ads for $300 that was almost brand new.

Thank you . Your whole website is a great site and I just spent hours

reading everything. I printed your list and will use it as my " to do " list

before my surgery, now scheduled for October 3 and October 10, A/P.

Regards,

Patti
