Thank you Lori.
The time went fast.
So glad surgery is so soon now.
Did not get permission for my daughters. I don’t know who I would get permission from. When I asked the surgeon he said ask my nurse who said check with the person who does my intake. Both daughters are coming anyway and hoping for permission.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get the approval?

I know there are pretty strict covid restrictions in place that which state only 2 people on the list and they will be the only 2 allowed during your stay. It’s to cut down on any possible transmission of Covid or any illness to you.
But there is also a caveat which says it can be overridden with clearance, or something like that. So, either during intake, or recovery, I’d sweet talk your nurses. They’re your best allies with family, creature comforts and pain meds! ☺️
Have your daughters been vaccinated? That might go a long way too in reassuring the nurses.
Good luck! With everything. ☺️

Hi Kyle, It’s been a couple of months and I’ve been hoping to see you pop up here in Connect. I’ve been wondering how you’re feeling after the surgery? Are you recovering well and feeling ok?
