Pre-Op testing blues

Hi all, I have SO MUCH pre-op testing to do in such a short amount of time. I just really need to vent. I went and had an EKG yesterday, everything came out normal, yet the Doctor wants me to have a cath stress test (I asked her why and she said "just because" WTF... not only that but I have to have a pre-op endoscopy, arterial blood gases, X-rays, ultrasounds and even an HIV test (just had one a month ago but they won't use that). I know i'm *****ing and moaning, and yes I know all these tests are for my own good. I'm just amazed that some people can manage to get it all done in one day! I think my surgeon requires alot more testing that others, it's a good thing but it's stressing me the hell out! I keep having to take all this time off work and now my boss is getting irritated... GRRRR... it'll all be over soon enough! I feel like a stuck pig (literally). Thanks for letting me vent, have a great weekend all. ~Jenn

Um....that is ridiculous! Test Results are good for ONE YEAR. I would have a good talkin to with my doctor. Melissa

I know, right? I think the HIV test isn't though, not that I mind taking one, I just didn't know why it was necessary. ~Jenn

g/f...he knows what he's doing...just do what he says!!! Love ya, ya know We just want you to be 100 percent safe smoochies!

I know he knows i'm just frustrated *screams* OK, all better now!!!! Have a great weekend Kath! *hugs* ~Jenn

Feel better, sweets?? Have a great wknd too and try not to stress...AND PUT DOWN THAT CIGARETTE!!! dang it!

I'm not smoking, I think that's contributing to the *****yness. I am, however, going for drinks. Have a great weekend!

A group of us girls is karaoke-ing tomorrow night

I dunno... can you say thorough? if theres ANYTHING wrong with this body i'm gonna know about it, Lord knows i'm paying enough in co-pays that i'd better! ~Jenn
