I was under the false impression that I would be meeting w/ my surgeon. Instead I met with a very friendly and knowledgeable nurse practicioner. She eased some of my worries and told me that I was in excellent hands. She told me that the vascular surgeon(Dr.Richard Neville) and neurosurgeon(Dr. Kevin McGrail) are also ranked among the nation's best. That doesn't exactly make me feel bad. I got to see the area of the hospital where the surgeries would be performed, had more blood drawn, filled out pages upon pages of paperwork and so on. She also told me that my red blood cell count was still low (31) and to continue taking the iron (3 tabs per day). I am over feeling sorry for myself and will focus on spending quality time with the people I love.
