Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Rich Holy Mackeral! 34 lbs in 3 weeks!!!!! Thanks for all the info. I'll see if my Ins covers nurses. I doubt it. In any event, I've decided that I will at least have companions at $135/ 12 hr shift. I think they are also $90 per 8 hour shift. Maybe I can taper off to 2 shifts a day and rely on family for the 8-4 PM. I have such a high BMI (69) that Pomp doesn't want to go Lap. So I'm gonna have it open. I know it's gonna be more pain but.......I can't wait any longer. I can hardly walk and fear I will die if I don't do something. Let's hope I can laugh on my way down to surgery!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for inspiration. n n Boden (maboden@...) _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed to work pretty well. > > I have such a high BMI (69) that Pomp doesn't want to go Lap. So I'm gonna > have it open. I know it's gonna be more pain but.......I can't wait any > longer.

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!!!!!!!!!! > > > n Boden (maboden@...) > -- Best Regards, Rich " One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain " BM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
