Monday after Thanksgiving--eep!
Mom's flying out on Thanksgiving day and staying until the 6th. If I need anymore help, Dad's available to come up as needed. I just have to go out and pick up a chair/bed convertible from IKEA (Mom's paying for it, yay!) so she'll having something to sleep on instead of just the couch, and then get some twin sheets and other assorted stuff from BB&B. I've been needing to replace the very ratty-looking uncomfortable chair I have next to my computer desk which is really only being used by the cat, anyway, and having it be a fold-out bed as well will be perfect.
Be sure to prep your Mom to put up a post -- or email one of us -- when you've come through the procedure. Of course, you'll be able to get online fairly quickly I suppose, but it will be a relief to hear the major worry-step has been passed.
I'll have my laptop with me at the hospital, which has free wifi. I'll be sure to have her update y'all, if I don't do it myself (they said they'd have me walking around that afternoon, so I'm sure I'll be alert enough to post here).

You may be able to walk around, but you will likely be high as a kite on pain killers. Nevermind. That should make the posting even more interesting. Proceed.

Hah, this was exactly my thought! YEEEES, post on painkillers! Wheee!
DJ, I share your WTF-ery, even if I am feeling too impotently rageful and despairing to know what to say about it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Nevermind. That should make the posting even more interesting. Proceed.
Hee!! What makes this even more interesting is that this will only be the fourth time I've been put under, and my first surgical procedure since I had one of those earwax tubes inserted when I was eight, so I have no idea how I'm going to react to either the general anasthesia or bigtime painkillers. The last time I had those was for one day when I had my wisdom teeth yanked in high school, and all I did then was sleep all day long.
I am so sorry for your and your family's loss Anne.
Much ~ma to your family, Anne. So sorry for your loss.
post on painkillers
After HKF was born, they had me on some serious cocktail, AND put a phone by my bed. I apparently phoned my best friend from college and convinced her I was at a spa/resort. I have no recollection of this at all.
