My surgery is scheduled for January 7th but will be admitted day prior for cardiac cath.. Met with the cardiologist and surgeon last week Thurs.. It will be a tradiitonal open surgery with six to eight hrs. on machines plus the time the surgery will take. Will be in hospital for at least five days if no problems. After release will have at least two months of healing, and no driving. I'm not looking forward to going to dialysis in the county van :( and not being able to do grocery shopping and errands ect... Right now I'm not too scared because it's not real to me yet really; the day I"m there and it is will shake and try to run I"m sure because that's the way I deal with things usually. I don't have too many pains just the usual angina now and then, but I'm increasingly tiried. At this point if I feel like I need a rest don't fight it, can't really do that. I used to think that pkd and dialysis was the hardest thing I would have to deal with but alas it's not. One more speed bump in the road of life! I"m hoping I have enough energy to at least make a few batches of Christmas cookies and such as it just would not be Christmas without that. I don't like the commercialism of Christmas and all the fuss about gifts and such; my favorite thing is to be thankful for what Christmas is and stands for. I wish you all a merry and thankful holiday surrounded by loved ones. Make many happy memories to cherish in years to come. For those who have lost loved ones let your memories take you back to Christmases past! Lin
Lin.. You are in my Thoughts and Prayers ! Hang in there you will do just fine!
And ..if you're like me.. which im sure you are..full of energy and pep ,willing to drive to and fro dialysis.. it is time to take it easy (although , me myself and I hate it when people tell me that) but it makes sense, after you recover you can pick up where you left off.. time heals all wounds!
