Pre-Op Testing

I managed to work on Thursday. Sandwiched between the news of my surgery and the surgery itself. Needless to say, I was just occupying space and time. No real thought about work itself. But I did get sales so that is always good !! Anyhow, I had to return to the hospital to get blood work done for my upcoming surgery. They tested for HcG ( The stuff Brian Cushing got popped for !! ), and other levels in my blood to make sure I would be OK for surgery. The guy who did my registration kinda had me worried about the process of being put under for surgery. Up to this point in my life, I have never seen an operating room. I have only been to the hospital once for some stitches. I had no idea about anesthesia or being put to sleep. I think that was the part of this whole thing that I was worried most about. Being put out and them not being able to revive me. Or there being some terrible complication during surgery and I not making it out. Anyhow, that is another chapter of my blog. So my pre-op testing consisted of drawing blood and a chest X Ray.
