Kerstin, great news that you now have a date and things are progressing. I hope that everything goes well. How many embo’s are they planning for you?
Good luck, Kerstin!
Good luck for the procedure Kerstin.
Thank you all for wishing me luck for the embolization, I might just need it!
Had a letter in the mail today with papers to fill in and sign, concerning the aneasthetic.
I have had operations before but none that were anywhere near as complicated, or took as long. I haven’t really been told yet how long I’ll be staying in the hospital afterwards; at first I was told 4-5 days and in the letter I had today it says I’m going to the shortstay unit. What’s short to them?
I guess some of my questions will be answered on Feb. 24 when I have to go in for pre-operative screening.
Shalon, they were talking about 2, and then radiation afterwards. I don’t feel like starting… Soili, I’m pleased in a way, at least the waiting is over… but I’m still scared things might change for the worse.
Caroline & Connie, I’m glad to know you both especially, on facebook and here 
thanks for being in my life, and thank you Mindy for your good wishes too
