Woo Hoo! I get to go in for Round 2 for iv iron infusion on May 5th. Cinco de Mayo!! (And my good friend Cathy's birthday!!) I am not as tense as I was going in for my 1st iv iron infusion. I know what to expect and I should be more relaxed. No worries! Dr. Patton is trying to get my iron level up as quickly as possible before I have surgery.
I am scheduled for surgery on May 13. I will have two different doctors performing two different procedures. One doctor will operate first and then bow out and then the second doctor will be up to bat so to speak. I am beyond grateful to both of them for working out their schedules so that I would only have one time under general anesthesia.
It looks like if there are no complications I will be under general anesthesia for about 4 hours and this does not excite me but I will be having two different procedures so I guess 4 hours of surgery is not a lot. I will be having the surgery done at Centennial which is a little out of my comfort zone since I am always at Baptist for medical issues including Liam's birth-but one of my doctors is contracted with Centennial and the 2nd has rights there as well, so there I will be!
Except for the fact that I will be under general anesthesia,the pain and recovery, I am really thrilled about the surgery. I see a light at the end of the tunnel now. If all goes according to plan, I will be feeling much, much better in about 8-12 weeks after the surgery. I can hardly remember what it is like to feel normal. I am looking forward to a return to normalcy and so is my family. Ha!
I'll keep you all posted.
