Everything with this journey has been smoothe sailing......until today. Just got a call from my surgeons office that my EKG came back abnormal and I need clearance from my PCP or cardiologist. WHAT?!? First, what do you mean "abnormal" and two, what the hell???? I had the EKG on the 4th and you're just figuring this out now 2 DAYS BEFORE SURGERY??? Ahhhhhhhhh! Luckily, I can get in with my PCP at 8AM, which is great (except I don't get home from work until 1AM) It's just frustrating, aren't we supposed to minimize stress levels before surgery, how does this help with that? I mean, seriously!!!

Sorry, just had to rant. My surgeons office has been great, but this really should have been avoidable.

You got to be freaking out.. Hopefully the retest is ok . The crap they put us through...Grrrrr

I agree it's crap - but maybe it is something important you need to know about before surgery. Yes the timing sucks - but thank God you can get in first thing tomorrow. Keep looking up!

Got the all clear from my PCP and their EKG showed no abnormalities. They did draw some blood and are running some labs and we're going to follow up in a month. Really hoping it was just a glitch with the first reading.

On a side note, less that 24 hours woo hoo!
