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.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We specifically did not want the school district tests to be the first tests given to him. The psychologist we hired to do the eval came recommended from the therapist and she believes what he does is much more thorough.
Good call.

DJ, I share your WTF-ery, even if I am feeling too impotently rageful and despairing to know what to say about it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

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.

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.

Kathy - the last time I was on such painkillers in the hospital, I thought I was doing ok the first 24 hours. But at one point I was in a wheelchair, right before or after some follow-up x-rays, and I realized how whacked out I was. There was that moment of clarity that I'll never forget, but then I went right back into that pain free drug haze.
