Well, the big day is almost here. Cat and I are at Seton Hall. Today was my full day of doctor appointments and tests - 8:30 to 5:30 with a very short break for lunch. I met Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Stefan, Dr. Kari, and Dr. Slattery, and I liked them all! Dr. Kari is one of the current fellows in training at House.
We had a heck of a time getting here on Saturday. Our flight out of Austin was delayed by 3 hours. When we finally got to LA, our rental car threatened to blow up on us as soon as we pulled it out on the freeway. There was something wrong with the transmission and smoke was billowing out of the tail pipe. We had to pull over and call the company to come pick us up. By the time we finally fell into bed at Seton Hall, laughing hysterically at the insanity of the day, it was 1am in LA, which was 3am at home in Texas.
We spent Sunday driving around a bit, scouting out grocery stores and restaurants, and taking in the sites. I hope that after surgery I am up to some more site seeing. I'm enjoying the city and the weather here is fabulous!
I'm wiped out and have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. Time to hang on for the ride!
Thanks to everyone for your continued support!

Have a relaxing ride tomorrow Liz. You are surrounded by ANers sending support your way and you have the best docs in the world.

Hey Liz, wow...nothing like some drama to keep your mind off your impending surgery, eh? :) Good luck...just remember...you will be out and totally unaware of everything, but your partner won't be...so make sure she's got stuff to do! They'll take her to the room where she'll wait until you get done. Take care and see you in postie land! :)

Liz and Cat,
You have made all the right choices so far including getting the best docs just let go and let God do the rest! The road to recovery is already here for you all you have to do is relax and go into surgery. God is on your side. Remember, with HIM on your side what is a puny little AN?? Encourage Cat to draw comfort, (online) from the Caregivers forum. You are blessed to have each other.
Please know that that you are valuable members of the AN Community and that we are praying for you, in a few hours you will be on the other side of this adventure! Welcome to recovery!
Go easy on yourself for a while, Liz!

Wishing you the best, Liz! We will be watching for updates that all went well! Surely it will go smoother than your trip to get to St. Vincent's ;)

As I am typing you are getting ready for surgery or are just now in surgery. You are in great hands! Dr. Schwartz is wonderful. I don't know Dr. Slattery but am confident in all of the House surgeons. You are now becoming a postie :)
Rest and take it easy. Will talk to you when you are ready.
