eee so exciting, the ball is rolling.
The nurse will just go over your medical history, take your blood pressure. She will most likely send you to get bloodwork and ECG.
The social worker is an overall review to make sure you are mentally and physically ready for the surgery. It was an easy appointment, just be yourself and answer honestly.
Congratulations on getting your appointments.
p.s. if I were you I would phone them and make the rest of your appointments, you don't have to wait until these ones are done to get the rest. At least that is what I did.
