THR Lorr’s Pre Op Journey

[Esmeralda]

That's great news - New Year, New Hip !

 

[CricketHip]

Congrats on getting your surgery date set. That to me, was such a relief! I don't know why but I guess it was because felt like I had done my research and picked my surgeon and then was offered a date and time.

I'm excited for you too, the next step closer to getting your active life back!

Recieved text messages today

Your appointment with Nuffield Health-is booked for Monday 22 January
nothing else as to what for.

would I be right in guessing this is a 2nd.pre op,1st one was 26th.November.?
I’m waiting for another text or call for clarification

@Lorr Yes I'd guess you are correct. Generally a pre op exam gets done 2-3 weeks before surgery to make sure patient is healthy for surgery. Also it might include signing informed consent paperwork ... though that might be done either at your surgeon's office a day or 2 before the surgery or at the hospital when you check in.

 

[Lorr]

Thank you Deb, makes sense as op date is 31st. All being well.

 

[Lorr]

Hi @Lorr
Yes, we will see you on the Healing Side Soon and this surgery.... as anxiety producing as it is.... is the beginning of getting back to healthy and happy.
Another day in the office for the O.S. and I know you will be glad to have it done!
Big hugs, hippy pal.
