My pre-op took all day yesterday. I saw a nurse, who weighed me and took my blood pressure. Then, I saw the nurse practitioner, who did a history and physical (quick over-all one). Then, as UC Davis Med Center is a teaching hospital, I saw a fellow, who just talked to me about the surgery. He said he'd see me Monday when I was going in to surgery. I have no idea how to pronouces his last name! I think it started with an H! Then, we had a little "class" with the surgery scheduler. There were 3 of us. Lots of questions. Time off is worrying me. I don't want to be off longer than necessary, as I am a very social person, and being at work with my peeps is a very social thing for me. Anyway...we will work on that as the time comes. So, I was left in the room, supposedly awaiting a visit from my surgeon. An hour and 15 later, someone was doing a room check, and saw me and said "What are you still doing here?" I just was like "Um, waiting.." My surgeon was in Boston, and not going to see me that day! After that, I had to get more labs drawn, pick up my pre-op anti biotic and colon cleanse stuff, and then meet with the anesthesiologist. It was a long day.I went home and fell asleep early in the evening. got a call around 8 ish from the nurse practitioner at the Med Center. The lab screwed up my urine sample. They were supposed to split it; part for whatever and part for a pregnancy test. The did not do the pregnancy test. So, back again I go today!
After today, then, I will not go back til surgery on Monday! Clear liquids this weekend, Sunday the cleanse (yay? lol)
Ok...I'm on this journey (I hate that word)....for better or worse...here I come!
