Late Thurs and Waiting....for..

Its late Thursday night. About 9:40pm waiting. Just waiting.

For 2 days all I've heard is the big storm is coming tonight and all day tomorrow. We will be deep in snow. No snow yet, but its coming. Yes, they expect 6-10 inches where I am on the northwest corner of the city.

I'm also waiting for tomorrow. The procedure. I've been thru it before in August. Another angiogram and maybe stint. I'm usually not worried and treat it as just another day in the hospital. Lets see, maybe 10 visits there for the heart.

I know I must get some sleep, but don't feel sleepy. We'll get up about 7-7:30am and leave about 8:15 unless there is a foot of snow on the ground. Then we'll leave earlier.

I'm supposed to sign in about 9 and the procedure is scheduled for 11 am. Its not just the procedure but also afterwards. Laying on my back for hours without moving my right or left hip.

That's where they go in with the thing. But laying there means no getting up to pee. That means the nurse have to shove a catheter into me. Oh I don't like that feeling.

Shucks, it'll be over before I get too grabby and whinier.

I know I shouldn't think about it, but this one has me nervous as I feel weak from either the blockage or the stress from the last couple months in Fla.

Time for bed, which means all the Christmas lights Karolyn put up inside must be turned off and doors locked and heat turned down.

So, maybe late tomorrow night or Saturday, I'll let you know how things went.
