My dr. called on Friday and changed my procedure date for the Halo procedure to tomorrow. I was ready for Thurs....but not real ready for tomorrow! My husband was able to take off work to be there with me, so I'm VERY happy about that! I'm not sure what to expect for pain afterward and that worries me.
Anyway....I'll let ya know how it goes.....

I do that "prepare" thing with the dentist. Any emergency just blows me away!
Good luck...ditto, etc!

The very best to you - I agree w/ HeyJoe, sometimes the sooner the better, less time to agonize over the what if scenarios. I'm sure you'll do well w/ your husband's support and that from the forum.
Good luck and good thoughts for a complete and swift recovery w/ a minimum amount of pain. Alkymst |

Yes, my dear Roxie.
Alan just came home from work and we met up in Dunkin. He is now sleeping. So you just go to sleep tonight and have a restful night. All will be fine. We are here for you. Melody

A surprise huh Roxie!? I would be glad you are getting it over with sooner. But I know what you mean by not being prepared. I prepare the very devil out of everything. Frustrates my poor husband to no end.
 But it always pays off in spite of his eye rolling. I'll be thinking about you. I'm wishing you good luck and less pain. Billye |
