That sounds crazy.
That sounds crazy.”
Had cataract surgery last March on the first eye. Was put through the wringer with lab and cardiac tests and a million questions from the PA and each of the docs and lab tech. Sodium level was high so they wanted me to come back in for a lab test just in case. Told them it wasn’t going to happen. They went ahead and did the surgery.
The only problem from the first surgery was created because, in spite of the fact that I warned them ahead of time, they did not deaden the surgical and surrounding areas enough and I sat up straight on the table while he was making the incision and implanting the replacement lens!
Then three weeks later they did the second eye. Had a new charge nurse (from England) who informed me about 15 minutes before surgery that she had decided and recommended they postpone surgery and wait for a new sodium level test which would take at least a week. That meant that I would have to do the physical and all the lab work again because both surgeries and the other doctor stuff had to be completed within 30 days. I threw a huge fit. Fortunately the eye surgeon over ruled her.
I just pray that I don’t need any more surgery in my lifetime because the getting ready part is worse than the actual surgery.
It is all getting crazy!
