Maria do you mean you want to have the surgery before April 19th? THat is soon to be trying to accomplish all of that. That is cool that you worked with this doctor.
I did all the pre op stuff at my primary docs office a week before. I didn't have to do the chest x-ray , but usually so before surgery. Seeing i go to my pulmonologist every few months i usually can use one of those for my surgeons. I skipped the pre op with my surgeon because i had just seen him and discussed the surgery the week before. He had noted what he would do in my chart . It did all happen very quickly though.
My back can not handle the lopsidedness at all. It also cannot handle sitting in bed all day for days on end. But overall it is not doing so bad. The injections did a lot of good . It took away all of my butt pain on both sides.
Yes, i would definitely pack before the foot gets done!!
