progress: physicals, what appears to be three-bed monte, and factors
1. Pre-op physical today.
2. Bed of proper height will materialize today. (Yay! Have already got futon transferred to back room, where my friend Sonya will be ensconced upon it when she comes to help out. And the daybed that was where the futon is now has been moved to the living room, where the [info]jenett can snooze upon it when she stays over. Consequently, the living room has been much rearranged. I think it works, actually.)
3. Got call yesterday: "please to come let us do more labs. We need to check a bunch of blood factor things, to make sure we have the right blood on hand. If not right blood on hand, must postpone surgery." (OK, they were not telegraphic and leonine in their phrasing, but you get the gist.) OK then. Ah, the joys of being A negative.




Eeeeeeeee!

*blinkblink* If I'd thought it would be an issue, I'd have gone in and donated when I was up for con. Timing, people. Grr (to the hospital, not you)

Good to hear that preparations are moving forward.

Sounds like you have things under control. I'm glad they're doing the blood matching thing a week in advance. This is smart. Especially if you're A-!

I keep wondering if I can become A+ if I study harder.

After all, why be negative?

I always get smug with the Hub, because I'm A- and he's B+.

(Our gang is a case study in blood types: http://sunpig.com/martin/archives/2004/02/01/blood-groups-gotta-catch-em-all.html)

I can't give blood ever again, anywhere, to anyone, because I received it in the UK, and am therefore going to become a mad cow. I hope other sources come through plentifully enough.

I don't respond to people's posts as often as I should; I tend to see something and think "oh! That's good!" or "Oh, how terrible!" (as appropriate for the post) and move on.

Which might lead someone such as yourself to not realize how much I care about them and wish them well in the upcoming surgical/making life better adventure.

Wait...three-bed monte?

Does that mean one of them has a pea under it?

Isn't this some sort of fairytale setup?

Sounds like a bunch of fun. Not! But at least there will be a new hip at the end. And my friend who got the new knee a few months back says all the pain and annoyance and prep. was totally worth it, now that she's walking with no limp again.

In case I forget before surgery day, best wishes for a totally successful and uneventful surgery and a quick clean recovery time.

*crosses fingers for right blood*

I'm donating on Saturday, but California. And O+. (But CMV negative, they like my blood for infants, elderly, and immuno-compromised.)

Eeeeee too. RSI flare-up, assorted RL stuff keeping me quieter, but this fellow mollusc is feeling for you. News seems mostly good. Hoping heartily it continues so.

After abdominal surgery, I found trapeze-like grab bar very useful. Might help prevent falling.

[info]jenetts are very good at that sort of thing. I applaud both [info]elisem's good sense in keeping one around, and the snaily progress. Goooooo snail! Bring us a healthy Lioness!
