Update on Louie's upcoming Surgery.

[Guest guest]

Hi Panc. Pals,

I did get a call at 5:15 today and it was from my nurse at Ohio State University

Hospital(OSU) and my surgery to have my pain pump replaced is schudled fro this

coming Monday Setp 23. I have to Be at OSU at 11am to register and the surgery

will take place around 1pm and last about 2 1/2 hrs. At least one good thing is

that the surgery is being done as outpatient and I;ll get to come home after I

spend 1 hr. in recovery. I would image the ride home 2 1/2 hours without any

traffic will be a bit unconfortable, but at least I'll be home Monday night to

sleep in my own bed. The did tell me I be asleep you the surgery. Boy, am I

glad of that, I hate to be awake for surgery and all of the sudden they say

oops- That has really brought me out of my semi-sleep in the past.

With only having to wait until Monday for the surgery, My pain pump shouldn't

stop working and I shouldn't have to go thought withdrawl. I feel better

knowing that I don't have to wait very long for the surgery, it'sbetter this

way, because I won't have long to worry about it. Please keep my in your

prayers on Monday. THANKS!!!!!!

Take Care,

Louie in WV
