Do you have anyone to be with you for your operations? Your dad maybe?
My sister, who was an RN w/ Master’s Degree in Nursing (Nurse Practitioner), for 41yrs from Duke Medical School to SFGH and then to Kaiser Permanente, goes with me to all the hospital and dr app’ts. At 94, Dad’s a little too infirm for all this travel. He knows less about it than I do. Sis is a wiz at it, and I am with horticulture and firearms.
