No I have to see and get clearance from cardiologist first. As soon as that is done I will get it. All other tests are done and I have my preop instructions, including my antibacterial soap I have to shower with the before and day of surgery. I guess some must have been coming in stinky.@Terri have you gotten your surgery date yet?
so is there no way this is just a week out of work and a week having dogs in boarding or a health aide?
If you have avoided your PCP, how do you know that you are not already loaded down with comorbidities?Does getting my wisdom teeth out count? LOL Of course then I had a tough time coming out of anasthesia and had someone drive me home. No doctor yet. Have avoided my personal physician since I gained all this weight. It being a huge surgery, my reservations continue...
It's still not been enough to light a fire, and I don't know why.
Therapy. Now. Please. And fergawdsake stop the self diagnosis, it's an excellent way to kill yourself.It was only with the recent regain that I have avoided the doctor. I didn't say I didn't have any comorbidities. I do. I am in a healthcare field, so some are self diagnosed but likely accurate. I'm insulin resistant, borderline HBP, sluggish thyroid, I have apnea and GERD, plantar fasciatis and perhaps a few more. It's still not been enough to light a fire, and I don't know why.
Like I said, I'm in a healthcare field, so I'm not blind about my condition. I monitor my BS. I am aware of my BP, the apnea and Gerd are easy to diagnose and started this year. I don't think that's cause, Elizabeth, for me to head to therapy, but I appreciate your concern. I by no means consider myself a health practitioner, but I am aware of the issues I do have.
