Hi all,
I'm just a few days away from leaving for St. Louis for my surgery with Dr. Lenke on March 9 and 11. I'm pretty much ready to go and getting a few butterflies these days!
There was a small hiccup with my primary care doctor, who insisted on repeating some pre-op tests because they were not done exactly within 30 days, even though Dr. Lenke's office was happy with all the tests they did and didn't require any more. I didn't understand this and was a bit angry about it coming up in the last minute. But someone told me recently they understood that if anything were to go wrong with the surgery the primary doctor is legally liable. Has anyone heard of anything like this?
Now that that's out of the way, I'm looking forward to my surgery being over and done! I appreciate the great support I have received here for many years now. I'm not sure how soon I will be able to post here; I'm not taking my laptop (withdrawal!) but I'll do my best.
