Default Wish me luck

I'm sitting at my computer biding my time 'cos I'm off to hospital (yet again) in 2 hours time to have the end of this purdy l'il nose chopped off.

If I was a nail biter, I'd probably have none left by now as I'm a wee tad nervous at the moment. I think I'm more scared today than I was when I headed off for the hemicolectomy! At least then I knew the hospital, the doctors and the nurses looking after me. No such luck this time as we've just moved states, and I'm taking pot luck with all of those things. At least the surgeon (female) is a real sweety, and the best plastic surgeon they've got here, I'm told.

I'm not sure how long I'll have to stay in hospital, but hopefully I'll be out tomorrow. I guess it all depends on the skin graft.

Good luck to you, Koala. I'm sure you'll do just fine. I would be nervous, too, but just try and concentrate on getting better and it'll be over and done with before you know it!

I'm great at giving out advice - not so great at taking my own suggestions.....

Please keep us informed as to how you're doing - we'll be waiting right here for you...

Okay, Anne, but it ain't luck you need, my dear. I'll be praying that all goes well and I'll send dm a reminder because she's a tad dm-ish today.

Hi Anne

I used to work for a plastic surgeon when we were stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. I was the non-sterile roamer in the operatories...it was fun work and I really enjoyed it...sort of...(some of the surgeries were pretty bloody...but most times it was interesting!)

Anyway, you will do just fine cuz I said so! Keep us posted!

You have got to be kidding me? Koala, I'm sorry for the derailment, but miss Cheryl seems to have done just about every job there is (outside of poledancing!) What haven't you done?!

Derailment over

Koala- Hope you're back home super quick and recovered. Will they let you keep it as a souvenir?? Seriously, I hope you're better soon.

Sending a big cyber your way.
