My procedure date was changed to tomorrow....
 

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.....

Hi Roxie:

I'm holding your hand (cyber speaking that is)

You'll do just fine. You post when you're able okay?

Best of luck,
Mel

HI Mel!
Thank you! I have a great dr....so I'm sure all will go ok.
Have you been to Dukin Donut yet for your weekly treat?? :)

oh, I know how that goes!
 

I do that "prepare" thing with the dentist. Any emergency just blows me away!

Good luck...ditto, etc!:hug:

Its better just to get it over with, you have less time to think about it...good luck and i hope no pain.

HI Mrs.D and Hey Joe!
Yes I should look at it as the sooner I have the procedure the sooner it's over with! I guess I'm just dreading one more procedure! I've had so many tests, pokes and prods with all the test for my neuropathy......UGH!!!!!! Thanks all.......I really appreciate it!

Roxie
 

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. :hug:

I like to prepare too...but again, less time to worry. You will be in our thoughts and prayers!

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.

Oh Wow!
 

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. :D 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.

H Roxie, the time will just come and go before you know it and you will be back here talking about it in no time, good luck with it anyway :)

Cyber hugs, Roxie. I hope all goes well. You are an upbeat, strong woman -- you'll do fine, I know! I'll be glad to hear from you after to know how it went!

I will try
 

to send some positive thoughts your way as well!

Let us know when you are up to it how good things went - j

By the time I got here this morning to wish you well--
 

--I figured you'd probably be "mid-procedure". But a few more good words can't hurt.

Let us know how it all went when you're up to it.

Good luck. I know the procedure is over by now and I hope you are getting some well deserved rest...

What exactly is the Halo procedure?
I hope it goes well for you.

HI Granacki,
I have Barrett's Esophagus (pre cancerous cells in the esophagus from years of severe acid reflux) The Halo procedure is a new procedure where they put a laser into the esophagus and burn away those cells. I live in Houston and my Gastro specialist just started doing the procedure here.
I posted on a new thread about how it went yesterday..........
