I FINALLY got accepted with my new Rheumy in Jonesboro AR!!! My first appt is March 28th at 1:30!!! I almost cried I felt so relieved!!! I feel like I have hope now where there was once, none!!
I am still having surgery Thursday, the 23rd. I went and pre-registered this past Friday. Had an EKG & some blood work done. I should get a call soon telling me what time I need to be there. I chose not to have my surgery at the hospital. Instead I am having it at a place similar to a “surgery center”. And my surgeon starts surgeries at Noon so I am hoping I am first. Since I am NPO after midnight on Wednesday. But I have news for them…I am swishing & spitting!!! There is NO WAY I can go that long without swishing water & spitting it out!!! lol
Just wanted to share my WONDERFUL news and than y’all for all the kind words & support!! You guys are the greatest!!
That’s great news! You’re not on meds to increase saliva are you? My last two surgeries they had me take my Evoxac in a tiny sip of water in the morning. It made the morning go much more smoothly.
Thanks y’all!! I will post about my appt as soon as I get home! Jonesboro is about an hour and a half drive…one way. So hubby & I are gonna make a day of it! Our anniversary is April 5th (my Neuro consult) so we may as well celebrate a few days early in Jonesboro!
Stoney…I am on Evoxac as well. My surgeon had never heard of Evoxac before. But they will let me know what meds I can & cannot take when they call to tell me what time I need to report for surgery. I’m sure my Evoxac will be allowed but I still may have to swish & spit some. lol
Glad you have a date, and best wishes for you! I had surgery last year and the no drinking was horrible. I used a mouth spray to produce more saliva, but that really upset my stomach later so had terrible stomach pain after the op- wouldn’t recommend that!!
