Surgery at Virginia Mason Hospital

12/18/2013

Everything went well for my surgery yesterday at Virginia Mason.  Of course it took longer to find a vein than to do the surgery.  It took two doctors, two ultrasound machines and one nurse.  Of course the nurse found a vein that would work, unfortunately it was in the arch of my left foot. 

Groggy and exhausted Chuck and I left Seattle at 5:30, and joined a slow freeway crawl after a bad tanker truck crash outside of Dupont.  We actually considered a hotel room..  Thank goodness my sister lives in Lakewood and we ended up spending the night at her house.  Thanks Nancy!

The surgery was to replace the lead to my  sacral nerve stimulator which had  dislodged from my spine in one of my many falls.  I am happy to report so far so good with the stimulator on again.
