Have been given an op date of 22 March. Need another CT scan and blood tests before but have just had all my pre-op assessments.
I had to do the exercise bike test and failed miserably. Just received the anaesthetologists report and it reads to me as if I'm at deaths door ! Heart problems, lung problems, knee problems and to cap it all the pre-op nurse phoned and told me I had a UTI !!
So, so far, as a result of my so-called health checks I've been told I have type 2 diabetes, kidney cancer, pancreatitis , emphysema, a lung nodule and a UTI !! All with no symptoms. I always thought I was fairly well for my age (74)
I came away from the test exam with a very simple get more exercise booklet .
Somehow I think this op is going to be cancelled ! So depressed.
ps I 've started walking every day
