but you're not getting surgery in Florida right?
Just tape a big note to your chest: "Remember, it's the aortic valve"
I know. Them removing the wrong organ is definitely not one of my fears. Not being able to do what I normally do and trusting my wife to handle stuff is. LOL
When my wife's son was getting emergency surgery she was cracking jokes and the nurse took her aside and basically told her that he had a good chance of dying and she needed to be acting appropriately. I wasn't there or I would have told her off. She handles stress with humor and people think it means she doesn't get the seriousness, but she definitely does.
I'd have told her "you do your job, I'll do mine" 😀
not in the same league but my lovely wife did this while passing time in ICU before I woke ... probably fresh off the slab
These are seriously funny!
So, when I went to that appointment he had no clue my symptoms were worsening, even though I let the nurse know. She just brushed me off. He also stated that in those past two months the amount of really sick people coming in was huge. All that said, my wife is having shoulder issues and needs to see an orthopedist, she got the referral, but when she went to make the appointment found out she can't get in until JANUARY! We are thinking we need to switch medical groups, as this one seems to have huge waits for appointments. I feel like I am in Europe after hearing their stories of waiting so long for appointments. My entire life I have never had this issue. We may switch to the hospital/doctor network that is doing my heart surgery. I got in to see the surgeon I chose in a week and then they scheduled me for surgery for a week after that.
Oh wow. I hope not either because the surgeon is going to Thailand and won't be available for awhile after next week.... I scheduled this around the election to make sure I could still make it to vote.
When I went in yesterday and they said the doctor had an opening in exactly one week I was blown away! I mean, talk about fast!!
Holiday to Australia?
