Finished up what I believed is the rest of the shopping online yesterday. However, Jean still is looking through catalogs picking out stuff. Her latest must have is a flatware set from Horchow that is 150 for 20 pieces. I told her it may go on sale after Christmas and convinced her to wait. If she asks anyone else to order tell her it is already ordered.

I called the pharmacy to find out when the net batch of Coreg is to be sent out, cause I only have enough pills to get Bill through till the 22nd of this month. The next batch will be sent out net week, but he has 6 months worth of refills.

Nurse Debbie from Dr. Khaled's office finally got back to me. Bill is scheduled for surgery on the 15th of January at 9am. He needs to go to outpatient administration at 7am to prep him for surgery. Once the doctor performs the angiogram they will determine whether or not Bill needs a stint. If everything works out and blood is flowing well, they will release him the same day. If there are any complications he will be admitted into the hospital for observation.

I asked Nurse Debbie about the amount of Coreg Bill is on and the effects it is taking on him. I explained what had happened on Sunday and that the medication was making him abnormally dizzy. She will page Dr. Khaled and relay the information to him. Once she has an answer, she will call my cell phone. He is on the lowest possible dose though and she was surprised that it was taking such a toll on him. I will post whatever response I get from the nurse or doctor.

When is the dinner at Lon's??? Jean is under the impression that Christmas eve is here and had me order Fillet Mignon's for the dinner. She thought that it would be easier for Bill, and if there is a dinner on Christmas night, she could go alone. She is very worried about Bill and doesn't want him going anywhere unnecessarily.

Just got off the phone with Nurse Debbie- NO COREG FOR BILL UNTIL AFTER THE PROCEDURE. I have taken out the pills from his boxes.
