A scare

Nov 29, 2017

This is the end of the 2nd month of my required 6 month pre-op process. 

Wait a second though... maybe it's not time to celebrate yet...

I haven't gained any weight, so that's good. I've been steady at my 21ish lbs lost. I'm okay with that for now. Here's where the problem may be...

Last week I went to have blood work done. Since I am having my upper endoscopy next month (the 14th), my surgeon ordered a bunch of labs. Luckily my PCP has a lab and they were able to do the work. That was exactly a week ago. Today I got a phone call. They informed me that something came back on my blood work and that my PCP needs me to schedule and appointment so we can discuss it. Uhm... not good! I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what the heck it could be... I haven't a clue. It was basic pre-op blood work. I went in to see if my nurse could tell me, but whatever it is, it's something he feels he needs to tell me. To say that I am petrified is an understatement.

I'm not so much worried about something terminal. I mean... yeah that's a little bit of a worry, but I feel fine (minus this annoying headache)! I'm worried I won't be able to have the procedure now. 

Tomorrow afternoon I will know more. So, if you're the praying type, I could use some of that right now. Some positive vibes, well wishes, whatever it is you choose... I just hope for the best.
