Thank you Moni and Kendra. My bottom is feeling fine, been spending a lot of day two just listening to music, but plan on watching a few movies tonight now that I'm sitting at 30% incline, and still stuck in bed with all manner of tunes, drains, and iv in me.
Barix facility seems nice. Everyone has been wonderful and helpful. The room is my own, no place for a second person. Visiting hours seem relaxed. The closet for personal belongings doesn't leave a lock, so it you want your purse, electronics, or other valuables, bring them in one of those carry-on suitcases with a locking it. Been having my wife get things out when needed, and my electronics have been fine sitting on my bed table.
One other point for preop not mentioned anywhere in Dr. McGinn's paperwork: in addition to the fleet enema morning of surgery, you need to provide a urine sample at Barix after they take a blood draw. I almost wasn't able to provide, but then all worked out. Know that will be difficult holding back urine when you administer an enema, but needs to be done.
Think I get to walk tomorrow, and no sign of food intake yet (which I'm surviving, but lack of coffee for days SUCKS!)
ttfn :-)
