my update

Hi everyone, As someone you know I was suppose to have another surgery this thursday but here is the update from when I went to my PCP for medical clearance: I went to the PCP and he argrees that my dizziness, light-head,fainting, fast heart rate is probably just about malnutrition and dehydration. He says we have to be 100% sure that is what is making me ill, not something else. So he sent me over to see the cardiologist who hooked me up to a halter monitor. He will take it off today at 330 and look at the results. The cardiologist said he doesnt know if he is comfortable giving me a clearance for surgery he doesnt think I am well enough. He said probably will want me to wear another type of monitor for a WEEK but he will decide tomorrow what to do. But overall mostly likely the surgery for this thursday is off and I probably will go to the O.R TWO WEEKS from now if all goes well. He said he will was going to call Dr. Gellman to make sure he was ok with this. My PCP said he did not regonize me that I got so "skinny". HA! He said we have to be safe than sorry and that is what the cardiologist thinks should happen then lets roll w/it. He said he knows how uncomfortable I am but you really dont want to go under general in the OR knowing (god forbid) there is some kind of bad health problem. He is a little concerned though about my weight. He weighted me at 123 pounds today!! I almost fell on the floor. My blood work from the pre-op was poor. He told me try to get as much real food in as I can and to call him on his cell if I feel any worse. He said it will get better and he promises, I told him I will believe it when I feel it.
