I still don't have a date for my liver surgery. But things are moving in the right direction. This past Friday I had my pre-admission phone consultation with a nurse. Its part of the pre-admission program that every surgical patient has to go through at the Foothills. The second part of the consultation took place on Monday. I was expecting to have an abbreviated meeting with the anaesthesiologist handling my case given the fact that I just went through the entire pre-admission process only 3 months ago. But it turned out that it actually took 3 hours. I had to have an ECG, run through my entire medical history with a nurse AGAIN, meet with the anaesthesiologist and then meet with another nurse to discuss my upcoming stay in the hospital. A big thanks to Shannon and Nora for looking after the kids while Penny and I were at the hospital.
Tomorrow we're off to Victoria for a week. We were able to take advantage of some $49 Westjet flights and figured with no planned surgery date we might as well take advantage of our soon-to-be non-existent ability to get away.
One other thing: Congratulations to Carly and Jay Frank on the birth of their son Matthias.
