  1. I have low potassium

    · peacock774 · 03/28/10 10:34 PM

    Well my surgery is scheduled for Wed. but I went for lab work last Wed. and they said my potassium was dangerously low. So I went back the next day and they redid my blood test and said it was up a grunt but still way too low. I am supposed to go back tomorrow and see if it has come up over the weekend. If not my surgery will be postponed. Then today I find a letter from my insurance company saying that they will not cover the surgery because my doctor is not a preferred surgeon. I am starting to feel that Im not meant to have this surgery.

  2. Getting nervous

    · peacock774 · 03/14/10 09:21 PM

    I know I should be excited about the surgery but I find that the closer it gets the more nervous I get. I got to meet the surgeon for the 1st time Thursday and I broke down crying. He told me that it was ok to be nervous that it means I am really thinking about this decision because it is a big decision. I have never done well with change, good or bad. I guess it has taken me so long to get to this point that everything is starting to sink in. But I do know that it will be worth it in the long run.:thumbup:
