Ready for Surgery
I am finally ready for the surgery.  I had all my pre-op labs done today.  The nurse at the hospital asked me if I have been tired lately.  I said "of course as I have not been sleeping well."  It turns out I am anemic.  My hemoglobin level is at 9 and it should be at 12.  I spoke to my surgeon and because it was after 5pm she said she would not get the lab results until Monday.  She said I may need a transfusion or postpone the surgery.  I can't imagine pushing the surgery date back.  I am hopeful we can resolve this and proceed with the surgery.  I just want to get the ball rolling and get this thing out of me!
