Hi Everyone,I have been a busy bee,Ater tomorrow I will free of not seeing any doctors until July22(knock wood all) I had my pre-op yesturday first I saw a cardiologist that when well ,then to my OS they do their own testing and since I ended up with the blood clot last time I am going in the hospital the day before and will have a stemt put in (just to be on the safe side) Has anyone have one of theses? I know it goes up from the groin,and i dont know why i didnt ask how they do it,maybe too much going on in my brain,Jo can you tell me?
Now I know I am in great hands having a revision done,it did take a long time to get here and on Saturday was reading online and found out that the Gender Solution was developed by the Chief of Orthopaldic Surgery that is doing my knee!! Wait until he sees what the other OS that put my first knee in which is a Gender Solution.
After that I when to give my pint of blood and thats where my day when wrong,first the lady that was doing it told me that she wasnt feeling well and didnt want to be there,my mistake was saying please use my left arm and she said why just because someone cant get blood from that arm doesnt mean i cant and in went the needle and she said o-no your vein is rounding, then she got it and my blood wasnt going as fast as she would like and out came the cranberry juice and boy did she make me drink and she want me to drink fast 1 glass full 2 glass full on #3 glass and boy was it hitting my stomack, and she was still saying you didnt drink enough before you got here,I said how could I, I been seeing doctors since 9 and its 1 now, O I couldnt wait to get out of that chair and well she almost got my pint and then said that they might not use it as its not fulled, At that point I didnt care I needed the bathroom,I got off that chair told my hubby I needed the bathroom now Just made it lets just say I am not drinking cranberry juice for a long time!!!:doh:
 
Hey you glad you posted. My mom just had 2 stints put in . She brusied a lil, and was a lil sore but she doesnt even notice them. Im glad there taking precautions thats great. You should have made her drink juice with you. See how she felt. I know you couldnt....lol..Now just wait, it will be here soon enough. Give you a lil time to get a few things ready.
 
Sorry Judy for such a rough day, but just think you are ahead of the game with the cranberry juice with holding off a UTI. hahaha

Hope all goes well for you I know it will.
 
Yuk! I hate cranberry juice - about as much as I hate incompetent phlebotomists! I feel for you, tooyoung.
 
Sorry it was such a long, hard day for you! However it sounds like you are almost ready now. Glad all that's behind you.

Why cranberry juice?? Was she trying to make you as miserable as she seemed to be?
