So I had all my pre-op appointments yesterday. That was interesting. Besides being late, and waiting for an HOUR, it was pretty good. We had a few laughs and got my questions answered. Good stuff.
So my first appointment was with Lazzarini, my surgeon. I was about 15 min late. Their office was SO busy! You had to take a number and they would call you up to register you! They had 4 girls at the front, and one off to the side to make appointments. I don't think I've ever been in an office so busy! And needless to say, it's nothing like my office!
After they took me back I sat in the room for a bit and saw Lazzarini walk by a couple times. Then he stole one of the pillows off the exam table in my room. He told me I could have one but not both! It was actually pretty funny...waited a little bit longer...
Finally he came in and we talked a little bit. Told me about my scripts he was giving me, and how I should probably stop taking my Aleve now, and Friday at the latest. Went over other basic things. Then he was like, "So basically I'm going to get you where ever and however I see fit. Usually a woman your size will take 3-5 tiny incisions." ....Ok well that cleared that up. hahaha Just the way he said it was funny. He said I would leak pink fluid from my wounds for about 12 hrs and not to wear my fav stuff etc. because it would be ruined.
After that I went home and had to go back out to Walnut Creek for another Pre-op appointment at the hospital. Which apparently I didn't need to go to? She checked me in, and that office was MUCH quieter than the ortho office. More like mine. hahaha So she goes over the basic stuff, but she didn't have my paperwork from Lazzarini?! So that was one reason, and I wasn't staying over night. So she was a little perplexed as to why I had come in there, but we had some laughs and I went over to sign all the paperwork about how I would pay etc. etc.
So I'm good to be cut! Part of me wishes it were sooner, while the other doesn't! So as usual, I'll take it one day at a time...which is all anyone can handle!
