Liver resection tomorrow!

Postby DBF » Fri Sep 06, 2013 11:08 am

I'm at MSK now- just had an IVC filter put in for the blod clot issues, and the procedure was quick and painless. Also accessed my port for the first time, and it went very smoothly- no pain there either.

Now I'm waiting to be brought to a room and formally admitted. I was upset to leave the baby this morning, but I have to say, I'm looking forward to getting an uninterrupted night's sleep!

If anyone is so inclined, please swing some chickens for a smooth and successful procedure!
