Pre-op tomorrow

[greenThumbs]

Ladies, the time is getting closer.  I have my pre-op tomorrow.  Thankfully they gave me a courtesy call because my appointment is for 1pm and I thought it was for 1:30.  Surgery is scheduled for Monday at 10am.  I have to be there at 8am.  I will be doing a Magnesium Sulfate solution Friday or Saturday.  Doctor says I should be discharged on Wednesday.  I will keep you all abreast of things.

It's sorta like that dang toothache that goes away right before you go to the dentist!  I wanted to cancel my surgery because I was feeling so well with my thyroid...they got my levels right finally and I was on top of the world...then it "acted up" and I went hyperthyroid and was a crazy person.  That sealed the deal for this sucker to come out.  I took it as a sign to proceed with surgery...sigh.

Essentially I had the same things done except no strength test but I did have the EKG.  Not at all what I thought it was going to be.  I think I am hanging in there fairly well.  I actually had some pretty intense ovulation pains today which in a very strange way was welcoming because since all of this has started I have not had pains.  I was starting to wonder if there were anything to really be done.  I am still a little sore.

I had my pre op today too!  How did you make out (although at the time I'm typing this you're still there)?  I'm curious what you had to do for your pre op, I thought it would be much more intense than what it was.  Just some blood, bp, ears nose and throat test, strength test.  No ekg like I thought (I'm 42 so I thought they would do it) no chest x-ray...very simple.  I hope it's going well for you...how are your nerves holding up?
