Pre operation update/physical

Glad the ball is rolling and getting closer to having this behind you both before long. I just hope that the insurance don't wait and wait and drag their feet. I have not had to wait for any to be scheduled, just had to wait for results. I hope you are feeling better now also, I'm sure you still have the cough. The cough is always the last to get rid of it seems no matter if it is from a smoker or non smoker.

I hope the insurance company, and the urology office, get their acts together on time. You, your wife, and dad, don't need to wait beyond next Tuesday for this. On the plus side, I guess your dad won't remember anything about the whole procedure afterward? I haven't had to wait too long for tests to be booked, but have had to wait to see specialists, and to get test results. I'm sorry to hear that you, and Grandma Debbie have to miss the show at the casino. I trust things will be under control, once the surgery is past, so you can all enjoy this great time of year. Take care, and Hugs to you Grandpa Bob.

Yeah - for my MRI to find out that my rotator cuff was torn I had to wait about 10 days. Happily, at the hospital, I got in for a sonogram on my gall bladder fairly quickly. The poor sonographer was just being over whelmed with requests - while I was in there she got a call and had to tell the person on the other end that she had to deal with the emergency patients before she could do a normal pregnancy.

No...but waiting for the results sometimes can drive you absolutely buggie! So things are falling into place and before you know it the surgery will be behind you and dad.....Glad things are looking up!

Thanks for the update grandpa Bob for I was wondering how things were progressing. Sounds like you have some good doctors in your area in which you are very lucky. I wish I could say the same for my parents but I surely can't. We're still working on finding a good doctor and hopefully we will. Good luck with your dad, I sure hope all goes well!

Hello Grandpa Bob, yes unfortunately when you have to have any kind of surgical procedure there are some tests that have to be performed before the surgery and there is lots of tests and lots of waiting in between. I had an outpatient procedure done in the hospital and I had to have all sorts of tests done before the surgeon would do the surgery. It's just all stuff that they do I believe to make some extra money and to drive people nuts! But if you don't do what they tell you then they won't do the surgery! So it will be over soon Grandpa Bob and your dad will be ok. So try to relax and everything will be ok and over before you know it.

Hubby waited LOTS to have an orthoscopy(sp?) done on his knee and waited before then during every step of the way to reach that point.. Good luck and all for Tuesday!!

Well I am glad that things are going well at the moment for his Operation I just hope that you do not have to wait to long to find out if they cover the Costs It is just awful that they take so long as this is a Persons Life

Grandpa Bob I hope everything turns out OK with your dad's surgery. My mom has gone to refusing every procedure even including some meds. It is within her right to refuse. She is not eating anything except what I bring her and has lost 250lbs. She knew she was dying a month and a half ago now she is still alive and giving me grief. Mom's new thing is: She called me yesterday to tell me the AT&T called her to tell her that her phone bill had to not been paid for 6 months and that she owed over 100 dollars. What a made up story. I called them and no one called, and yes I was behind by one month but I had paid it on Friday. The lady at AT&T asked me if the reason I was mom's agent was because she got things mixed up. We had a good laugh out of that one. I myself think mom just wanted me to tell her who much she owed and when I paid it so she was leverage against me. She does love to tell the people at the nursing home that I am crazy and incompetent. They know the truth.

Hello Grandpa Bob. I hope that everything goes smooth with your father. All the best to you and your father and thank you so much for the update. Happy posting.

I did see my M.D. on a Friday afternoon and had to wait until Monday to have a test set up.

No i havent been in that same situation as yours ( hope wont be in that situation). Anyways, will just pray that everything will be a okay .

Glad to hear that you dad's heart is doing very good! Hopefully you will in have any hassles from Blue Cross Blue Shield. Tuesday of next week? man that is fast. Soon enough this will all be over and things will be back to normal.
