3/31/08 -Pre-op Visit
Went to see the surgeon today, she went over the whole procedure. I did get a bit freaked out when she said when they put me to sleep they have to put a breathing tube down my throat. That the Anesthesia paralyzes my breathing.. and that the machine will breathing for me... OH LORD... what am I getting myself into??? I took a copy of my lab work from my pre-op testing that was taken on the 25th. it was a copy of my blood work . When I got home, I reviewed my blood work, I noticed my LDH levels were elavated. Not sure what the means, but bring the test results to my primary Doctor to review. Freaking out now... Always make sure to ask for a copy of your blood work, and look at it. When in doubt, ASK QUESTIIONS!!! We are all human, and there is always room for error, and things to be over looked.
