Surgery Scare!!
May 22, 2009
I just about had a heart attack today.About 1pm my regular Doc calls me and says, "I've been trying to get a hold of your surgeon." I'm like "What??" He explains to me that in all the testing they had me do the night before at my pre-op, well my liver function was high. Both my reg Doc and I believe it's from the Darvocet and Endocet I take for my migraines - both include Acetaminophen, which affects liver function, but he said it might be enough where they would reschedule my surgery!! He wanted to talk to the surgeon and try to explain this.
I was freaking out. Here I am at work breaking down....I mean when you get soo close and this was to be my last day at my day job before surgery....I just couldn't believe it. Now I was worried my reg Doc wouldn't get a hold of the surgeon. So, I took matters into my own hands and called the surgeons office. No, he's not in the office today because he's in surgery. Okay, so I call the hospital and ask to speak to his nurse. I explain the situation to her and explain to her that my surgery is TUESDAY. So she tells me she will immediately page the surgeon and have him call my Doc.
So I wait......and wait....
Finally, before I'm about to leave work, to go to work (2nd job) when I get the call from my reg Doc stating that the Surgeon called him and said that my liver function was not what he considered to be high and that they will take a look at it while they're in there and if they need to they'll take a biopsy to do tests on. THANK GOD my surgery was still on!!!!!
When that conversation was over, I felt like I had run a marathon!! I was just emotionally wiped out. I am so thankful that every thing is going as planned.
Take care everyone, stay strong! Marion
