Well, looks like I'm going to be spending Christmas in the Hospital

Due to scheduling difficulties, the only time that I can be seen by my surgeon is on the 21st of December. Which means to earliest I'd get surgery is the 22nd. And with a 3-5 day turn-around time from that. It was either that or wait until the first week of school to go up and potentially miss out on the first 2 weeks of the semester.

So I'll be spending my first Christmas away from home in a hospital room in the Children's Ward of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Needless to say, I'm a little depressed by this news. But I'm really exhausted from the day I've had so it hasn't really sunk in yet.

    At least when you get holiday surgery they give you a scar in the shape of a candy cane, with alternating red and white stitches in little bows.

    No, but since I had my original surgery when I was 16, my surgeon works in the children's ward.

    I didn't really realize this fully until I went there this summer and was wheeled into the children's ward the night before my surgery.

    Not that I'm complaining. The rooms are much nicer in the children's floor than in the other areas.

    I just thought to myself "I wonder if Childsplay does anything with the Mayo Clinic Children's Ward!" and then I checked and no, no it does not.

    Plus, it's always handy to have a ready supply of fresh young organs.

    Yes.

    It is entirely dependent on whether the fistulas have healed up.

    If they haven't, then no surgery.

    So when I fly up there, I have exactly zero assurance that it will be worthwhile.

    So you're getting an internal bag?

    That's cool.

    Smart Hero: Nope.

    Staleghoti: I believe I've said this already, but it's because my surgeon works in the children's wing of the hospital. It's less of a wing and more of a floor. A section of a floor.

    DarkPrimus: I've had an internal bag. For years. The fistulas were complications with that. Right now we're giving them a chance to heal and praying they won't come back.
