1 Day Before Surgery (1:30 PM)

Here I am, getting ready to depart. I'm waiting for my friend Claire to come by, and off to Rocky Top Tennessee!! Its coincidential having my surgery there and having lived in the Great State of Tennessee for 5 years in Clarkville back in the late 80s/Early 90s. So a trip there always has special meaning. I usually like to pass through, on US 41A and see how the area has changed. I miss all those great places, like Pal's Shop Ezy (Lotto Tickets, Videos and my favorite LIVE BAIT) and other landmarks. Whats funny, is there was a major powerball winner out of there in the 90s at Pal's.

I spent the morning, getting those last minute things done. Running to the bank downtown (Thanks, Becky!) and Walgreens I am all ready. I received calls from the medical center registar and Anesthesiologist, asking the same 20 questions. Of course the Med Center person called me when I was checking out at Wags. Not a place, I wanted to discuss my lifelong medical history.
Here is my issue. You would think they enter this into a collective database system. Which the Anesthesiologist could access. Hmmm??? I would hope so. Since I working with Health Information and know how vital the sharing of it it! The only frustrating thing, our connection was terrible. I was on land line, wonder if he was on a cell? Oh well, I am going to meet him in the morning. As with my plastic surgeon, Dr. Lois Wagstrom, M.D.

Here is her website: www.loiswagstrom.com

I met Dr. Wagstrom last year, when a friend had several surgeries with her and was very pleased. So that influenced my choice and my personal consult! They have been wonderful and its great in this day and age. If I have a question, I just email the nurse. I want to thank my friend Heather who referred me to Dr Wagstrom

Well, I have to pack up my laptop. I will post more when I get to the room tonight and some in the am before I leave for the med ctr.

I will sign off with one of my favorite quotes!
