Pre-op, again

Today, July 7th, I went down to South San Francisco, for the pre-operation consultation with my new surgeon and the anesthesiology department. Things went very well.... whew

First off, my new surgeon has a much more pleasant bedside manner. Not that the last one wasn't good, he knew his stuff, just a little cold. Second, he completely understood my desire to be the first surgery of the day, and actually made the call while I was there to move me (was on for last) to first and said to freeze it that way. THANK YOU! The sooner it's over, the sooner I'm home. That move may save me from an extra night in the hospital.

Anesthesiology was nothing, I do thank them for getting me in early so I could get out of the Bay before the big traffic rush. All they really worry about is first-timers under anesthesia, which obviously I'm not. When I pointed out I was under just a month ago, the conversation moved pretty quickly.

So... right now it's on, and for the first surgery of the day on the 13th (less than a week). Here's hoping they ACTUALLY do the surgery this time!
