Surgery updates

[Fleury Dragon]

Hi all as some of you might know I have Chiari malformation type 1 and have been waiting for decompression surgery for many months.
I finally got the phone call and my surgery is set for Tuesday 23rd February New Zealand time.
I have very mixed feelings ranging from scared to excited (very weird). It is hoped that after the surgery my pain should be less and I shouldn't have blackouts anymore.
I will be in hospital for at least 2 nights up to 5, but when able I will update here with how things are going.
Could really do with some prays and well wishes for the next week.

Oh Wow Fleurise. You have been waiting for this for so long. You will be in my prayers, praying for a completely successful surgery and fast recovery. And for the relief you so need. Do keep us posted as you are able.

Final blood tests before surgery done. Getting organised before surgery whilst nervous isn't easy. Today someone is doing my groceries for me. My repeat meds have been picked up. This afternoon I have a haircut (who knows when I'll be able to get it cut again).
Trying to fill my time up watching dvds so I don't think too much. I swear my brain won't shut up.
Other updates, mum is taking me and has found accommodation for two nights. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am so we are leaving at 5:30am to travel. I'm going to be so tired beforehand, maybe I can sleep in the car.
Anyhow I'll try to keep you updated with anything important.

Passing the blood tests is good news. Also sounds like your mom will be there, at least for a while. You must be incredibly nervous. But surgery will be over soon and you can put it behind you. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Got my medications ready to take with me. Also had my haircut ready for surgery.
Hope it doesn't look to stupid.

Not a lot more to do, small things.
Currently watching a movie with Mum. Saturday afternoon, not long now.
