Polly... Need good prayers
Yep, the patient 'marks the spot!' That's what I did for the Shoulder Issue
a few months back. I think that is standard practice now, at all hospitals. I surely hope your surgery brought about a good outcome to that cancer, Ginger. (Hugs.) PAT in VA/USA PS I FOUND MY CAR KEY and AM SHOUTING ABOUT IT!! wrote in message ... Yep, when I had the melanoma surgey last December 31st, the doctor and I did that before I went in to the surgery suite. It wouldn't have done any good to simply say "cut the arm with the butterfly tattoo", since both wrists have one in roughly the same spot Ginger in CA yes, he saved the butterfly from being part of the cut. |

Polly... Need good prayers
I can agree. It took me months for the marker to wash off my big toe after
I had my surgery to insert the rod in my broken leg. It seemed funny at the time to have the doc mark my toe since there was a HUGE cast on the rest of the leg. But a nurse did come cut that off before I was rolled to surgery, so I'm glad they had a way to mark which one was broken. (Like the swelling wouldn't be enough of a marker!) :-) -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Anne Rogers" wrote in message ... Your idea with marker though, really good and I've heard of even a dr doing that. He was to have surgery on his leg. So he wrote on the one that was not to be touched "Not this leg" the other leg he wrote, "Cut this leg" And yes I would consider it if I was going in for major surgery I would write it on my arm so they wouldn't forget. It doesn't hurt and it will wash off eventually. I think dr's should do this before they wheel you down the hall. Actually, all 3 joint surgeries I've had, the doctor has either done this when he spoke to me before being prepped, or handed me the pen to do it myself. Cheers Anne |

I'm due sept 4 with this surrogate baby but I don't think he's going to wait. Which is ok I'm far enough along and everyone is healthy. However I would really like some prayers for a normal delivery and quick recovery. I'm worried about baby coming too fast because this is baby #8 and that my thyroid will crash afterwards. Leaving me struggling just to cope with the basics in life till it straightens out. Thanx for reading if you got this far. I'll post after the event. Everyone is on stand by on pins and needles right now. Take Care Joanna Alberta My thoughts are with you Joanna. Michelle in Nevada |
