Pre-op Medical Screening Complete

Completed pre-op screening this week and received clearance for bi-lateral hip replacement surgery this coming Tuesday. I met with an anestheseologist and was examined by a doctor.

HSS also conducted an hour of patient education where we learned about the upcoming surgery and handling post-surgery everyday things like sitting, standing, turning, walking, putting on socks and using a toilet.

Also I stored a pint of blood for possible use during surgery, or donation if not needed.
