Today I had to do more cardio tests after I was told at the previous one “oh they won’t like this” Blurting things like this at patients doesn’t really fill you with confidence. I know they have to tell you a certain amount but for me it’s overload and sends me to rock bottom again. You people had lifted me quite a lot and I was feeling more optimistic. So I’ve had the bike test and I’m medium risk but near the top end. Perhaps I can up my fitness a bit while I wait for surgery.
Hi Poppsie
You are really having a bad time of it. I really think that you deserve to have a proper consultation with the physio before this negative information is given.
Do you have a team member to phone? I’ve found my contact nurses throughout my treatment really helpful knowledgeable and caring. They’ve made sense of the worries I’ve had.
After my diagnosis I had to see the Physio who gave me some tests, advice and exercises to do preop. She adviced me on diet and drinking. I had phone appointments with her up until my operation. When she tested me again
I think you should have the same support.

. You go for it And make sure you save some of those units for Christmas. They wouldn’t do the operation if you weren’t fit. So you’re doing well

Poppsie I was always told that age was only a number My neighbour is 80 and still working She's never in
I had never heard of for tests until I was on this page My Consultant told me that I was young fit and healthy .Looked round to see 
who he was talking to .Then I said Its not you that's doing the operation 
.
All the best .
