I survived pre op! I wasn't really nervous because I think I am now over the whole needle thing. But, I still get a little anxious when I don't know exactly what is going to take place at any doctors appt. So, all went well with the exception of my veins and getting blood. Man, the lady was so patient with me and the trickles of blood that flowed. I had to have 11 tubes of blood drawn but the fun part for her was finding a vein. It took over 30 minutes just to get a vein that would pull enough blood. Anyway, thanks to Sabrina at Dekalb Medical for her patience and humor to get through a "hard stick". Surgery in 3 days...
