I was downtown buying all the BOOST that I needed for the 14 days & I got a call from the hospital. I could barely hear her  being in the store.    So  , tomorrow I have to have blood work & an ECG & maybe pulmonary test (?) , if they can do it  , if not I go again. I am having this done at home here. I have to fast tonight .
On Oct 8th , I have to go to Bathurst to see the nurse & inestisist , preop clinic .
On the 13th of Oct, I have to call the hospital to see exactly what time my surgery is the next day .
Now I am worried that the tests will come back not good or something & I will be cancelled ....BUT  if so ......what can I do about it ? 
Did anyone else have these tests done ??  I know I am being stupid   ,   right .

Don't worry about it.  I had them done and I think it's routine.

Good luck!

I think we've all had them done and you've probably had them done recently as well.  It's nothing major they are testing for.  Just routine stuff!!  You'll be fine and no, you're not stupid.  Anxious maybe!!  Are you staying at the pavilion when you go for surgery?  Enjoy your boost!  Remember to put it in the freezer about 20 min before you drink it.  I found it made it taste better and was easier going down!!

We all had the tests done. If there is something that causes a delay, better that you know than not, so it can be dealt with before surgery. This has to be done right and that includes making sure you are healthy for surgery when it happens. Of course, we will all be happier if it happens in 2 weeks!!

Thanks all of you for the REASSURANCE ....I needed that .   I  just  had my last cup of tea for 2 weeks.   Every time I try to get out of a chair I am reminded why I am having this surgery !!!

All routine pre-op my darlin'! The time will fly for you now - take time to relax and get things in order that need to be done. Use your nervous energy positively - don't stress out. Keep busy and before you know it- your day will be here. And remember - when they wheel you into the OR and put you to sleep - make sure you have the biggest smile on your face. I know I did!

Thanks Mary & Blue ....I am worried I guess & scared . I made reservations for a motel for the 8th in Bathurst  so I would be there for preop that day.  Today   I go up to the local health center to have some done too.  It's 330 am  and I am up .  I can't go for the tests until around 10am. I'll go back to bed  again. I do this every night ...just can't stay asleep . Thanks again for the positive feedback .It does help !
