Pre-Op Today

Today was visit #1 to the hospital for the week. It was really just an informational type thing, to make sure everyone was on the same page with the operation coming this Wednesday morning. They gave me a few things to sign, and discussed some possible side effects that might arise from the operation (which although can become a major problem in their own right, are very very slim possibilities). There's not really much you can say or do about these risks, because they are always there for any sort of operation, and it's not like the patient is really going to be able to do anything to minimize the risk of infection in the operating room or something like that...its really a matter of trust in the surgeon and his team. In this case, I'm fortunate to have known the ENT that will be operating on me for quite some time, and I find him to be just about one of the easiest, confident, and most assuring people to be around. Dr. Lambert is such a genuine person, and for him to tell me today that he is just absolutely excited about this operation and what it will do for me, that just makes me feel like everything is under control, and it really is!

Nothing else, really, except to wait until tomorrow to find out what time the operation is. That just requires a phone call. I'll be sure to post it on here so you can know!
