Pearl Harbor - December 7, 1941 - 69 years ago.Surgery!
I am scheduled for hernia repair surgery, tomorrow at 9:30am, Wednesday, December 8th. This will be a minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair [link]. As I understand it, everything goes in thru my belly button, surgery tools and a patch (mesh) to close the tear in my abdominal wall.
I'll be at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, California. Second time I had surgery there. First time was a broken hip repair in 1984, the result of a bad bicycle accident.
4PM - Hot tub!
I've just finished putting my "Advance Health Care" directives in the mailbox to send to my designated agents. Wow! Sounds so official and legal!
I have be at John Muir Hospital's admitting early tomorrow. At 7:30am. Paul Gouveia, my friend from the American Legion is driving me home after surgery. The hospital will not allow me to drive myself home or take a taxi home.
So, everything is set for my operation. Time now to take a soak in the hot tub! Maybe Little Mavicita might take a pic of me out there at the hot tub? Hmmmmm?.
George at Dave's hot tub!
