Post by: BostonBill on June 11, 2011, 09:59:10 am

Well looks like all systems are go for Wednesday! Dr Barker & Dr Lee at MGH. Expecting nice weather here in Boston, the Bruins will be winning Lord Stanley's Cup and I will have a new hole in my head!  :D

Well see you all on the side!

Good luck, Bill.

Your docs are good from what I've heard.

Hope you have a swift, uneventful recovery.

Best,

Jan

Good luck!  Many thoughts and prayers will go with you on Wednesday.  You have excellent doctors and MGH is a fine facility.  I'm sure you'll do great.

Good luck Bill.  One thing I forgot to mention in my PM earlier.  Tell the anesthesiologist to be careful where he places the grounding pad so you don't end up with second degree burns like I did.  His face will probably turn white. >:D  My facial paralysis has mostly cleared up, and I just went back to work yesterday and shocked everyone by staying a full day.  I'm sure you'll do just as good as I did. I'll be praying for you....and the Bruins.

He probably sits behind the net during his son's lacrosse games and got hit in the head with a shot that went wide.   ;D  That's why I park several rows back and sit in the stands at my son's games.  My son's a goalie and has deformed shins from taking shots.  His doctor warned him that he'll have stress fractures if he doesn't start wearing pads.

Take Care, Bill and keep us posted on your recovery.

Too bad you'll have bad news about those Bruins when you wake up - I hope that's all the pain you'll have!
