After the first 2 days I tapered off to just 2 shifts leaving the 8-4pm for my

family.

That seemed to work pretty well.

If he says do it open then go with what he says. He wants to do whats safest

for you. He told me numerous times that if for some reason he got in Lap on me

but couldn't proceed he was going to open me up. Wasn't crazy about that

thought but knew he was protecting me.

As for laughing on the way to the OR, think funny and tell jokes with Pomp. His

sense of humor is great.

Besides, once you lie down on the table and go to sleep the next time you wake

up the switch will have been thrown. That in and of itself was a happy thought

for me.

Be well and know you have everyone's support!!!!!!!!!!
