Pre-Assessment Clinic

I guess my thoughts from Monday somehow didn’t get saved!  So here are the basics from our Monday visit to Saskatoon.

A few things I found out — I have B+ blood (this information is for my sister, Bren), mentioning bilateral knee surgery constantly got a quizzical look as though I were doing the unusual (which I guess it is), and the hallways in City Hospital all look the same (good thing there is signage throughout).

People seen:  Admissions clerk, then to blood work, then to heart tracing, then to a video (I guess that would be a person on tape!), then to physio, then to general information personnel, then to medical specialist, then to XRAY,  then to blood donor clinic personnel.  And that’s just for surgery.  We also did some shopping for ourselves and the church, and brought someone home with us who had stayed over in Saskatoon.

In all, denial is pretty well over with.  This surgery is going to happen next Monday!   We were told to be there at 6:00 in the morning — any who want to join me to "see me off" can come a 6:00 and say "Hi".  I think I won’t be doing much blogging next week, while I’m in hospital, but I’ll let you know how things go as soon after as possible.
