Bee’s Knees: Pre-RTKR, Testing and Stuff

This morning, I got my surgery time for 9 am on Monday, January 6 – be there at 7. Ok.

While I was doing my pre op testing, my doctor’s office called and said because of the predicted snow (I’m in the 4-8″ band, my surgery would now by Thursday, January 9, time TBD. Moving the surgery ensures that it won’t snow.

During the medical clearance, the nurse wasn’t happy with my blood pressure so she sent me to my primary care for blood pressure medications. She said if I did that and they faxed her, she would approve my surgery.

This afternoon I had an hour training on the ROMtech machine. During that, we had thunder snow. I don’t think I’ve ever had that before. It was 45 degrees when we left the hospital.

While I was napping after all this, I got a call from my surgeon’s office that the nurse didn’t give the clearance like she said she would so the surgery scheduler canceled my surgery.

Of course, it was after hours when I got that message 😦

Another day gone.
