On a somewhat related note - I went to my pre-op appointment on January 19th. I got sent a package of paperwork to fill out beforehand. The package is full of surgery related questions. One of them asks me to list all my previous surgeries. There's only room for ten and I'm already filling out nine of those spots. Maybe after ten you get a pass to skip your next pre-op appointment? That would be great! Seriously though, that would be nice. I sat in that waiting room for three and a half hours. I spent twenty minutes tops talking to the pharmacist, nurse, and anesthesiologist. They were way more interested in hearing about my previous nine surgeries to fix the same freaking problem than anything else. Not many people my age have been through all that. Unfortunately for me, repeating the story so many times does get a bit tedious at times. Serious though - the staff were great. I've just been through this way too many times. The anesthesiologist even apologized numerous times for the long wait. He said there wasn't much to go over as I'm a pro at it already. On the bright side, I went out for lunch afterwards and had an amazing grilled cheese sandwich. Move over Ikea! I've found a new best place to eat after hospital appointments!
