My Journey Notes:
Today’s the big day. It’s a late start as far as surgeries go — like the last one on the schedule at the center for the day – around noon. I’ve been fasting since 10pm. Luckily, only two pills to down this morning instead of the normal bunch, with a couple of sips of water to wash them down an all too dry throat.

I did get some good news yesterday — my insurance is going to cover the dr’s fees 100%. That was a huge relief, but still a bit annoying because the business office had no intention of calling and letting me know – I’m glad I did made another call bright and early yesterday. The gal I spoke with just kind of laughed it off…. Umm, do you think you’d laugh off the possibility of having a multi-thousand dollar bill due the day before the surgery? Nah, neither do I.
