Nervous about sphincteroplasty...

[Guest guest]

We're planning on heading out toward ton tomorrow around

lunchtime which will put us getting there around 8pm. I don't know

if I'm going to be able to sleep because I'm really nervous about

the procedure which Dr.Cotton is going to attempt. He's hoping that

he can fix the drainage problem this way, and I'm praying that he

can too. I'm going to miss my little man too. I'm dreading the

pain, but I guess it's worth going through it now so I might not

have it in the future. We're taking my laptop and some DVD's so

we'll (me and hubby) we'll have something to help pass the

time...that's if I'm not knocked out. I'm taking a few books...and

hubby is taking a few magazines. I'm praying that we won't be down

there too long. I think the average stay,according to other posts,

is about 2-3 days, so that's not so bad...that's usually how long I

end up staying whenever I go to MUSC anyway. I really wish that I

had internet access in the room, but I'd probably be unable to post

anyway. I'll have plenty to do when I get home just trying to catch

up on reading all the posts that I missed. The sedation is probably

my biggest concern...I'm going to do what all of you recommended and

tell the doctor about my past problems with waking up during a

procedure and being VERY sick at my stomach. Well...until

tomorrow...:0)--Kim S./ NC
