Hello all: I thought I was supposed to relax before sir-jury???? Not so. Today was so busy and it's not over yet.

I turned up at the Pre-Admin at 12:15 as scheduled. I didn't get out of there until after 4pm. What a nightmare. "Just take a seat in the waiting room and someone will be with you shortly." What is their meaning of "shortly?" One hour later I finally get to see the Clinical Thoracic nurse....then wait in the waiting room. Another hour goes by and I finally get to see another RN and then more waiting and then the anesthesiologist. After my appointment, I stopped in at work briefly (work is only 2 blks from the hospital and it's where I park my car) then left and made two stops on the way home. Finally walked in the door at 6:15pm.

I'm beat and have not eaten all day. My housecleaner is coming over tomorrow for the first time and I don't want her to see my place in a mess. Got to get some sorting out before she arrives at 10am.

However.....all is a go and I'm as prepared as I can be. Oh yea, I spoke to the admitting people to make sure I get a private room. No problem, she said. Yeah!!! By the way, I will be in Vancouver General Hospital....Jim Pattison Pavilion....12th floor. Don't know the exact room number though.

MOFF: I felt the angels following me today. Funny, but they never talk back even though I talk to them.

Gini: I read your post this morning and all the time I was waiting I was visualizing you seated upon the bench high up on a hill overlooking the field and talking to God. It was very comforting. Thank you.

Kass: Hello my friend. You have so much on your plate right now....I thank you for thinking of me.

Listen, can we all please turn our prayers to Kay and that dear sweet missing pup? Come home Kiki...wherever you are.
