Title: Well my FFS was cancelled at the last moment
Post by: KristyWalker on August 02, 2017, 06:11:36 PM
I had finished talking to the surgeon when tha anithisthesiologist called it off due to my primary care physician not doing his job correctly and the next firm date is 02/01/18 while I feel better than yesterday when it happened I still feel like I was hit by a truck I wanted this before I turned 41 this December

Wow I'm so sorry that happened. Maybe the surgeon can make you the first choice for potential openings before February? But I know planning for surgeries even with prior knowledge is tough.

They will once I get cleared by a cardiologist I will be but flying back to Boston  from Atlanta  will be even more of a monetary drain.

Big hug! Can you elaborate on what the problem was so everyone knows what to look out for? What's the cardiologists role in this?

Hugs, Devlyn

I am on warfarin and my primary care doctor did not monitor me properly and my inr (how quickly or slowly my blood clots) was too low because I needed a bridge from when I stopped it for surgery because anisthisa can increase the chances for blood clots
