I'm not getting this 90 degree thing. Does this mean your back has to stay straight, no bending, or is it just the leg same height as hip thing.
I went for my pre-op today. ALOT of information to digest. My anesthesiologist also said my potassium was borderline to high. 5.3 I think, and he said for elective surgeries, they didn't like to do them when they got up around 5.5 (I think). He said they'd be checking it the morning of the surgery. So what does that mean, if it's too high, surgery is cancelled? He said it depends on who is the anesthesiologist.
Lots of questions...lots to absorb.
I SOOOOO appreciate this site! I've been reading posts a long time. It helps with my courage hearing people say over and over, "You'll wish you'd done it sooner". Boy, I hope that's the consensus. I'm still REALLY nervous! Surgery date Nov 10th....
