Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Dinah, I think the forms are in the manual, but I don't think you can fill them out ahead of time. There are a bunch of sections that you have to read, then write a sentence summarizing each section. It was way more thinking than I really wanted to do that early in the morning...lol But, at least you make sure that you understand everything that is happening to you. Good luck, and take your thinking cap to the hospital with you! Deb in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinah in Alabama >> Dinah, You do have to complete some forms in the holding area. They are the same as the ones at the back of the manuel. I filled all mine out and then you HAVE to copy them over again, and do not sign till there is a witness!! Very Important. You can not use the ones that you already have filled out, so, don't even ask! the only hard part about that was You are on a gurney and you have to hold your self up in a crunch postition to fill them out. My back was killing me! But, I knew I was going to sleep in a few anyhow! Dr.R wants to give you 1 last chance to back out if you wish. I did not wish! LOL I am very happy! Hope this helps, fill them out! xoxoxo Margie SC :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 yes, they were maybe two pages of question like you have already answered, mostly verifying that you know what you are doing. Nothing to be concerned about. Pre surgery forms? I seem to remember someone posting that you had to complete some forms in the holding area. Does anyone else remember this? Was it forms from the site? That we can complete before going tosurgery? Just wondering? I keep thinkingof all these last minute things.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 Yes there are form in the holding area and they are in the manual, but you have to fill it out in their presence and they have to witness it. You could look them over prior though so you would know what you wanted to say on your sentences! They gave me some drugs to relax my while I was filling out the forms, by the time I got to the end I'm not quite sure what I was promising Dr. R!!! Anything I'm sure as long as he did the surgery, and didn't let me wake up in pain!!! He accommodated me on both so I must have written the correct things!
