Today Was My PATs Day

I went for my PATs this morning. I learned that getting there early would pay off, and it did. I was able to get right in and sign my forms, have my blood work done, my BP, temp and oxygen levels taken then right into the nutrition class. (That class was for the early group and I was actually in the later group) After class I went for my chest x-ray and gallbladder ultrasound.
I met with a doctor who gave me a physical then I had my EKG. Last but not least I seen the respetologist.
The results? lungs clear, blood normal, oxygen 100%, EKG, x-ray and ultrasound perfect and my lung capacity is 120% (20% above the predicted level)
The doctor said my liver feels small and not enlarged at all, even though I'VE GAINED 12LBS! since my consult in June.

After my PATs I did some shopping for my post op needs. I bought 4 more jars of protein powders in great flavours, I picked up more Crystal Lite, Atkins bars and oatmeal. I even found some SF freezys. Now I just need to pick up some soups.
I also bought some new PJs, a robe and some toiletries.

Now it's time to wait until Nov 10.
