I'm back!
I had my follow up appointment today and finally got the clearance I wanted months ago. I have been promoted to Asst. Nurse Manager as well. So ladies when the time comes, after hurricane season, when the weather is cooler, I will be rescheduling my surgery! YAY! I had unsubscribed to the newsletters and not been on the website since I last posted bc I was just to devastated. I'm excited to be back!
No surgery clearance. I'm in tears I'm so angry.
Just finished my treadmill stress test. The cardiologist wouldn't even let me finish the test. I now have another test, 2D echo July the 1st. Then after that an appointment needs to be made for an electro physiologist then maybe even an ablation. So there goes my next Thursday scheduled BA. If my mom, my boyfriend, my brother hell even my dad really didn't want me to get this done, they got their way. I worked hard and did a lot of arranging mine and everyone schedule for this. This was my 30th birthday present to myself. Not anymore. And I understand my heart comes first, this just royally sucks. Im so dissapointed. I'm at a loss. I already called to cancel my pre op appointment that was supposed to be tomorrow. So I guess that's all for now, maybe even ever. Enjoy every aspect of your journeys. You're lucky to be able to experience it. The good and the all the bumps in the road.
Upsetting news
So I know I didn't mention this, mostly because my PS said or wasn't a big issue because I've once before in my life been under general anesthesia without any acute events, but I have Wolf Parkinson Wolf syndrome. I had no idea until about a month ago. It's an extra electrical pathway in my heart that I was born with. So I had my appointment today with the cardiologist. My second EKG in my life confirmed what the first one read. The WPW. So he would like for me to have a treadmill stress test before surgery to clear me. I'm scheduled for next Thursday at 3pm. I called my PS and let them know I needed to reschedule. They were helpful and worked with me and my pre op is now scheduled for Friday May 29 at 11. Of course that's only if I get the OK. So now I'm gonna be nervous until I know I'm OK for surgery. I've done my own research of course and did talk with a couple anesthesiologist about the effects of anesthesia with a patient with WPW, I've spoke with serval doctors and they all say it's not really an issue and that I should be fine. I really hope so.
