Jul 17, 2012

Sorry I've been missing in action alot going on preparing for surgery. Getting tests done, liquid diet, etc.

The tests all came out OK. Liquid diet was really rough/tough however ya wanna put it. I couldn't handle the pre-op kit I had purchased from the surgeons office, I couldn't keep it down so they advised me to use my regular brand. So I stuck with the Body Fortress, ate jello all day long, drink broth from soups for my meals and was still able to eat the protein bars that came in the kit, so I ate them at night for a snack.

Well morning of surgery came around (which was yesterday July 16, 2012) and I got scared and panicked which I always do with any procedure being done. I did same thing when came to getting my teeth pulled out. They always have to give me meds before coming in. Its always that I panic and get real nervous leading into it, and once am calm and there am fine. So I requested to have surgery rescheduled, NOT canceled just rescheduled.
So I talked with surgeon's office this morning and they sd before they reschedule me gonna see if Dr Juarez wants me to come in or if he can just call me something in for my nerves for the night and/or that morning coming into surgery so will be calm coming into surgery, then she will call me back and to let me know what he wants me to do and go from there. So that makes me feel better. I told her that I had told them on several occasions to note that in my charts and was not done and this is what it has led up to and the results of. She apologized and said she was entering it in my chart as an alert just like they have my latex allergy as an alert so they will see it first hand. So said she will call this afternoon after she has spoken with Dr Juarez and we can set up a day and time from there.
