I thought I saw you post, but knowing my brain I was seeing things.
Are you there? Are you here? When are you due for surgery.
Something kicked in my brain, wondering if all is better I spose!
Keep us updated.
I saw the surgeon yesterday.
The surgery will take place on March 10.
I’ll be in the hospital for 5 days and then they’ll kick me out. Unless there’s complications.
The surgeon said that everything will go just fine. I’m not overweight, I don’t smoke, don’t drink much, and I’m relatively young.
My only concern is the nurses. I tell you, it’s a curse, this animal magnetism of mine.
Thank you for thinking of me, techchick. You’re a sweetheart.
I don’t have to do drugs to mess up my head. I went to Catholic school.
Thanks for the update, Wally!
And I’m glad you like my new sig. 
Changing my sig, because Wally said to, and I really like Wally, and I’ll do anything he says, anytime he says to.
Wally,
Glad to know that things are looking good. Please remind us (specially those of us that are memory impaired) when you are heading in so we can give you some words of encouragement.
Nothing like having some happy thoughts come your way when ungoing such a surgery!
< grin >
Thanx, guys.
And remember, mon, no matter what they say, a ballpeen hammer to the noggin is not acceptable local anestisia(sp!).
Take care of yourself, and I’ll add my vote to the “keep us posted” motion.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
I think we should donate money to get you a laptop so you can post to the SDMB while you are in there.
I hear you can’t do that in hospitals, but they should allow it, if you are feeling okay there’s only so many magazines and games of real solitaire a person can handle.
Man, if I am ever admitted to a hospital for any length of time I will demand internet access! I am so weird!
I have a laptop, techchick.
I wonder if they’ll let me post from the Recovery Room?
For anesthesia, just give me a bottle of tequila and a bullet to bite on.
I don’t have to do drugs to mess up my head. I went to Catholic school.
I work in the Recovery Room in a hospital, and let me tellya, no patient uses a laptop in there! You’ll be too conked out to do much anything! 
Get some sleep, then have someone smuggle it into your room on the floor and you’ll be good to go.
