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!
