Pre-op

Today was Mom's "pre-op" appointments. First, we went to the surgeon's office to sign some forms, then we took Mom to the hospital to sign more forms, talk to the anesthesiologist, have blood drawn for lab tests, and a pre-op EKG performed. We were given instructions on the procedure to "clean Mom out" ~cough~ in preparation for the surgery. So, everything is on track.

We were all hungry when we left the hospital, so we had lunch at Silver Bay (seafood — yay!). Next we went to Wal-Mart to get the laxatives, juices, and jellos that will make Mom's diet the day before surgery. I took Mom & Dad back home to rest, then went out solo to do the grocery shopping for the week.

After such a big lunch and being so tired, none of us were very hungry so we just nibbled at yogurt and leftovers for supper. Then I came to Mickey D's  to hit their WiFi  so that I could check email and post this blog. I have never connected to a WiFi in a public place like McDonald's or Starbucks before, so I was surprised to have to pay $2.95 for a 2-hour block of time. Is that customary...?!?!? I'm pretty sure that the WiFi access will be free at the hospital where Mom is having her surgery. Anyway, it is so nice having a WiFi card in the computer, even if I have to travel to use it!!!
