Preparation Time For My Surgery Begins Today!

Today, I started taking a 3 day regiment of antibiotics; ramping-up in preparation of my urinary laser lithotripsy surgery; scheduled for Wed. 7/20/05 at 7:30 a.m., at O.H.S.U. Medical Center. My trip begins at 5:00 a.m.; when an BLS ambulance arrives, to transport me to the place, where I'll undergo my surgery. The trip there will take; about 1 hr. I'll be prep'd; by them starting an I.V. of more antibotics; until my surgery time of 7:30 a.m. The surgery should take; about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. If everthing goes well I'll be in recoverery; about 1 hr. & back home by early afternoon.

These procedures are not much fun & are extremely rough on my MS riddled body; but are necessary for my survival.

I can always use your thoughts & prayers!.....Mark
