Well I pre-registered this morning for my final blood work prior to surgery. It's to check for Factor 5 to see if I'm genetically predisposed to a clotting disorder. If it comes back that I am, then the morning of surgery Dr. Nicholas will make a cut in my groin area (ouch!) and place a screen in the artery. This will catch any clots that may form from traveling to my lungs or brain during my GBS. My doctor will submit to insurance on March 2nd yipeeeee and then it shouldn't be too long till I have an actual date for surgery. Sometime in April is my guess.
I'm expecting and know I can count on a lot of support from my husband, family and close friends. It won't be easy but I knew that going into this. I've had almost 2 years of information gathering and learning as much as I possibly can about this surgery. I'm excited and apprehensive too.
Till later.......
