9 Days To Go And Now This!

I have a clotting disorder. It has been managed very well and besides my meds, no real interruption to my life. But it makes all the doctors super conservative when dealing with me. I understand why but come on already!

I have a stress test tomorrow and then Thursday is my pre-op medical clearance appt. for the chest x ray, ekg, bloodwork, etc. My primary Dr. called me a little while ago to say that my cardiologist wants me to have an ultrasound of my calves and I need this done BEFORE Thursday of this week! Basically she is not going to clear me for surgery without this. So I asked her how am I going to get this done before 2 pm on Thursday??? First she was like " I don't know" and I was ready to explode. Then I guess she thought for a minute and said that SHE will call the ultrasound dept. and tell them I need to be seen asap. She's trying to get me seen right after my stress test tomorrow. Then she'll call me and let me know the deal. So now I have to be on pins and needles waiting for her call. AAARRRGGGHHH.

I think I will really lose it if this causes my surgery to be put off. I really, really will lose it. I have my time scheduled off work and so does my husband. Everything is all set. I have to think +++ and try to be zen about it but it's hard.
