Disco Dancing

Day Surgery Unit pre-admission visit. Lots of forms to fill in, blood, urine (use of jam jar got a laugh - difficulty getting the lid off), blood pressure, weight, ECG, literature to tell you about before and after. No date yet. Hopefully soon as getting more uncomfortable!
Risks of surgery (common): bleeding; Seroma; blood clots
Risks of surgery (remote/rare): nerve injury; damage to blood supply; damage to main artery; infection; anaesthetic complications (heart attack or death); pulmonary embolism; injury to abdominal organs; recurrence of condition.
What a fun day, can't wait for the big one!

    Heart attack or death sounds a challenge. Go for it!!

    I don't like to contradict Jon, but I would recommend trying to avoid the heart attack or death.

    It does sound rather like a menu! One of the medications I take (rarely thankfully) has "death" listed among the side effects. I tend to experience all the side effects going but thankfully I haven't tried that one! Hope all goes well on the big day.
