Testing for surgery

Hey guys! I am scheduled for surgery on the 4th next Wednesday and go for blood work/testing on Friday. I was wondering if any one knows what kind of testing or blood work they could be doing? I was so overwhelmed with information I didn't think to ask the nurse my mind went blank. Excited I should have some relief, diagnosed a little over a month ago and surgery so soon means hopefully getting back to my life!

  Hi they will want to make sure you are healthy for surgery ...make sure o infections etc....

Keep in mind recovery from this surgery is not as quick as the turn around to scheduling surgery... allow your body to rest post op ...doing too much too soon can cause set backs.

To have a Prayer Thread Posted go to the list your surgery date 2015 and post the date there.

Wishing you all the best.
