My doctor is going to slice & dice me this week.
Probably send in probes too.
Like the antenna implanted in Cartman's butt on South Park. scared.png

After studying it a bit they decided on General Anesthesia instead of local.
Thank god for small favors. :)

The last time they did that I counted down from 100; I made it to 99. :)
Back then they used a strong dose of morphine.{broken ankle & leg bone}

They will probably remove some good parts along with the bad parts.

What is going to happen to me is NOT as dramatic as Angelina Joli & that other girl{Christina Applegate} having their tits removed to prevent cancer.

Personally, I would have thought about that twice or thrice before doing it.
JMO.

We aren't supposed to talk religion here, but I see it this way---

We do the best we can & leave the rest up to God.

Don't worry about things you can't do anything about. :)

I'll post here until I am no longer able to.
With my will power I will be here for some time to come.
I really enjoy helping people. :)

Hope it goes well - you are not mentioning religion in a inappropriate way by giving up control to someone else when you must. Could be God or the doctor as you feel.

Thanks.

I'm a tough MF.

I lived with bears for over 3 years.
LEARNING to live with them was a learning experience.

I had time for meditation.

The wild bears & I became friends after a while.

As long as you follow protocol they won't harm you.

I am ill now.
There is a protocol to that.

Live in harmony & understanding with bears or disease & things go better.

I go to surgery at 7:30 Thursday morning.
Full anesthetic.
They only allowed it if I had someone beside a taxi to take me home.
My landlord agreed to take care of me.

We all will pray (sorry again something relating to religion) for the very best outcome, however, your original post shows you could do it easily with will power

All the best

They at first said I would have to provide proof my heart was ok.

Well, 4 years ago I was sent to the U of Va at Charlottesville & they put me in a big machine that rotated big magnets around me.
MRI--- ????
& they rubbed some grease on my chest & took a scan of my heart.
I could see it beating on a screen.
That was strange.
It was the same thing they use to see unborn babies with.

All scans showed good heart function. :)

These new doctors finally decided to rely on the old scans.

{this makes me think doctors work together to make one take unnecessary tests for more money spent}

A point in case is my old dentist{over 25 years ago} said he would save a tooth for me.
He said any other dentist would pull it just so they wouldn't have to do the work necessary to save it.
He drilled it out to the root & packed it with antiseptic & filled it with silver.
It needs to be pulled now, but it kept good for over 25 years. :)
They said root canal & a crown--- $3000 would fix it with NO promises about further trouble with it...
Or pulling it...

Anyway, the new doctors decided to take my word about my heart being in good shape & will proceed with the full anesthetic surgery. :)

It cost over $6,000 for the original scans.{Half an hour at most doing them}

I don't trust doctors as far as I could throw them.
Seems they are more interested in money than in the well-being of their patients.

Well, I'll see what happens today.
Maybe they will screw up & I can sue them for 10 million $$$.

If I survive...

Well, 4 years ago I was sent to the U of Va at Charlottesville & they put me in a big machine that rotated big magnets around me.
MRI--- ????
CT Scan if it took 5 to 10 minutes or if 30+ minutes then MRI

& they rubbed some grease on my chest & took a scan of my heart.
I could see it beating on a screen.
That was strange.
It was the same thing they use to see unborn babies with.
This sounds more like Sonography

All scans showed good heart function. :)
Great

Seems they are more interested in money than in the well-being of their patients.
That's universal with few exceptions

Well, I'll see what happens today.
You'll come out even stronger

Maybe they will screw up & I can sue them for 10 million $$$.

If I survive...
They won't screw, you'll survive and still able to sue them. Once you get the 10 million $$$ don't forget me :D

You've great sense of humor

Don't generalise(universalise) that to whole Doctor community - we sacrifice our lives soulfully to others for their well being - the whole 24*365 a year.

Yes, the grease thing for scanning - it would be Echo-cardiography.

I don't know why doctors didn't do any PAC (pre anesthetic checkup) particularly of heart. In general, if you have been on some cardiac drugs or cardiac ailments are suspected, then investigations are to be done - no matter what previous ones were. It is also done if you're elderly (usually more than 65years).
If you're not in this category, then they'll assess clinically and follow up thereon.

David, wish you all the best - keep strong :), will be waiting for you here.

My intent wasn't to hurt anyone or pointing to any particular country - this is from my personal experience. I am sorry if I hurt you or anyone

Cheers

No worries. We have our personal experiences to share, that's one of the reasons we all are here.

I wanted to inform & make sure the readers of this thread not to take it in any other way. Being a doctor is not a job , but life itself - to be able to heal!

I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone here or any country. Always enjoy each moment in our lives.

Cheers!
