Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I said I would post about my day of appointments pre-surgery today so here it goes. It was very uneventful though so not much to say! My surgeon called this morning and said he needed me to come in at 11 instead of 1:30. So I went to the surgeons office and the nurse took my pulse, temperature, height/weight, and blood pressure. I had to sign all the hospital consent forms. The surgeon also put the splint in my mouth to make sure it was fitted properly. It wasnt as bad as I thought, I thought it went across the roof of your mouth like a regular retainer, not just between your teeth. He also showed me my " after surgery " mold he made. My bite lined up perfectly!!! I can't wait! He answered some of my questions and gave me even more zip and squeeze bags! He then shaved off a little of 3 of my teeth that I guess would hang down too far once my teeth were touching. I found out that I am the first out of two surgeries he is doing on Tuesday and that his nurses come with him to the hospital. Oh, he also took yet another pan x-ray. I just had one taken with him two weeks ago! Then we left and went to eat lunch and go to the mall for a bit. I went back to the hospital at 3:00 for my pre- admission testing. They were way behind schedule. After waiting 30- 40 minutes they called me back and told me that they didnt need me to stay! They said that all they needed was a blood test which they could take the morning of surgery. They are going to call me tomorrow or the next day to go through a list of questions with me. So instead of waiting like another hour to be seen, they sent me on my way! So now I just have to answer some questions for them over the phone and I am set for Tuesday's surgery. I bought a squish pillow today and a chair-like raft for in the pool so I can sit upright and soak in some sun post-op! I also bought a white board the other day so I think I am getting pretty well set. Now I just need to go get some new eyeglasses cause I wear contacts usually and my glasses aren't even the right prescription anymore. Well thats all for now..The countdown has really begun. I am less than a week!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
