Nervous About Test Results

[MzPecanBrown 86]

I am not on a CPAP but one lady in my pre-op group was. She was instructed to bring her own machine to the hospital since it was already configured for her. They told her that her surgery would be postponed if she did not have it.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I have to bring mine with me to the hospital. Not looking forward to it :-)

I had all the same types of tests. Blood was found in my urine, but after ultrasounds and a physical exam, that was cleared as nothing. I did end up having sleep apnea and hemochromatosis (too much iron), now the chest xray has come back with some "swelling or infection", so I had an appointment today with a pulmonary doctor. BUT.. that was rescheduled till Tuesday because he has a funeral today. Problem is .... my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday and he has to clear me first. I will be begging him to clear me. I stopped smoking at the end of December and have been coughing up junk ever since. Maybe that is what they are seeing, I'm not sure. So the tests are good but really have caused an emotional roller-coaster for me.

Isn't it nerve-wracking? I have a sleep study tomorrow night too.
