Hello All,Connie and Jennifer,
I haven't been on the board for a while, I'm getting freaked out with my daughters surgery coming up so soon and trying to get my house ready. (getting a bed set up downstairs,packing suitcases frontbutton downshirts, pillows for car,dog sitter, blood donating options that are getting scarce, school tutoring).
God I'm already a basket case.
My husband seems so calm, that doesn't help either.
Connie,
What pulmonary problem did I see you have had? That sounds like it was very serious and I just wondered what,how and the symptoms I should be on the lookout for.
Jennifer,
Ithink last we were talking it was about the blood.
I am waiting to see if I can donate(a medical issue may have arisen to keep me from donating, I will know more this week.)
How long can they keep the own patience's blood does anyone know? (3 days?) I know for another person it is 2 weeks.
The Dr. office acted like we would need at lead 2 units, and the person doing the scheduling said he thinks her weight of 102lbs would make her too weak for surgery.
I didn't realize that even a family member's blood could be accepted differently by her. That's upsetting bc I don't think they want her to give her blood.
I will have to ask about the machine that filters the blood Connie mentioned.
Sorry if this is too private..
Does your ins. not cover this surgery?
I understood if the Dr office set this operation up then it was covered!
I guess I better start making some phone calls to make sure. I'm sure this is costly and we have not been paying ins. to find out I missed something and will have to pay for all of it.
There's already enough to worry about.
What kind of tests should we expect at the preop?
Is this the day visit not THE surgery day?
I know I can call the SCHEDULER!!! but i feel like I'm not getting the attention and explanation I need, I know they are doing this every day and don't realize I want to know every detail BEFORE we get there. I don't like surprises like this scoliosis was to me!
I'm so sorry this is so long but I want everyone to know I am thinking of them and thankyou to those who answer and help.
God Bless, Kay..
