Pre-Op workup

Today I went in for my pre-op visit number 1 before my cyst surgery. I met with the chief resident who will be in on the case along with Dr. Groll. I had to fill out some paperwork, go over the consent for removal of right ovarian cyst and possibly the right ovary, have a pap smear and then pick up some meds. Because of my ulcerative colitis they want me to do a dreaded bowel prep (I think this blog is way to fixated on bowels..) in order to clear out the colon in case of any adhesions they might find. Then I decided to go to the gym and do some weights for the first time in a month. I went to move the seat of one piece of equipment and the 2 pieces slammed together on my middle finger nail bed. A bit of a scream came out, then instant nausea, clammy feelings and felt like I was going to pass out. I kinda drifted to the locker room and hugged the toilet for a while.
Obviously I am not meant to work out!

Hopefully this weekend is less exciting around here. Dan has his CT-Scan on Tuesday and I have my pre-op visit number 2 (with anesthesia) that same afternoon. Not sure when we will get CT-Scan information. Dan is scheduled to follow up I think on Thursday or Friday with Dr. Wood, but maybe they will call us before then with results.
