Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, the day is finally here. My J tube surgery is scheduled for Sept.14th. Dr. Korson is on rounds the week and weekend that I am going to be there. He will be following me very closely. I have an Adult GI Specialist that I met with in March and he will be working with Dr. Korson as far as my feeds go. He is not experienced with Mito, but told Dr. Korson that he is interested in learning and will work with him as a team. All the GI specialist at NEMC are Peds GI, so Dr. Korson thought it would be a good idea to find an Adult GI to work with him when he has Adult Mito patients that need GI Doctors. So I am actually the GI docs Guinea Pig. Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well. My husband Kim and I are flying (Angel Flight) to Boston this Sunday. I will be admitted to NEMC on Tuesday the 13th and then the surgery on the 14th. Since we will be there a day early we thought we would visit a few places if I am physically up to it. I really want to go and visit " Cheers " which isn't far from the hospital. I think it would be neat to go there and sit on the bar stools!!! And maybe we will go out for dinner and a movie. Look for updates at my caringbridge website. If you are interested my web page is: www.caringbridge.org/pa/annmarie I am so nervous about this surgery. I have thought about canceling it a few times. Dr. Korson had me go on TPN so that I could gain some weight before the surgery and with the added weight gain we are hoping that I will recover from the surgery faster. I guess what I fear the most is the possibility of being on TPN and J feeds for the rest of my life. It is a true reality check. Knowing that I will now be connected to tubes and lines in order to survive, is a scary thing. If you pray please keep me in your prayers. If you don't please keep me in your thoughts.
