Good thoughts and prayers, Please
I just talked to a very good friend a few minutes ago, and the last time I had talked to her, she had been to the WLS seminar and was putting in for insurance approval. It's been less than a month since I talked to her, and her surgery is scheduled for the 22th!! OF THIS MONTH!!! like in less than 2 weeks. She is a very private person, does not have a spouse/SO in her life, only one son who is away at college, and not many close friends. She is having lap RNY and the same doc that did ole Alvin's is going to do it. I had planned to be with her at the hospital during her surgery, but the day before is the day we leave for our business trip to PA, and we will be gone for 2 weeks. As I said her son has classes, her other close friend has a seminar she can't get out of, and I'm going to be out of town. That means that she will be in the hospital with no one around if something goes wrong. I know it will probably be fine, but just the thought of her being there alone really upsets me. If there were any way I could postpone my trip I would, but it's taken us about three months to get everyone's schedules coordinated so we can have this much needed training.
Her name is Pam, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and especially on the 22nd send up extra thoughts and prayers. I'm having lunch with her on Monday, so I'll be getting her son's cell phone, and her other friend's cell phone so I can keep in contact with her, and I'll try to let you all know how she does.
