Make sure she doesn't put an X to say not here, they might think X marks the spot. [:D]

Good luck I have not had Arm surgery, but I just had neck surgery took out C5 & C6 with a fusion and plates 12/17/01. Thats from World Trade Center. Had a Back L5/S1 Discectomy-Leminectomy on 5/11/00 doing CPR on someone popped it. Had 3 knee Surgerys 2 to my right knee in 75 thanks to Nam was shot, and 1 to left 1991. Had some other surgerys and I'm still kicking at age 49 which was on 01/02/02. Just go in there do it enjoy the pain meds and do your rehab when you get out.

Quoted: Getting my screwed up left elbow fixed... anyone else ever have a joint worked on? You'd think this'd be an outpatient thing, but they're keeping me overnight. I dunno if that's usual or not. Had a knee and hand fixed before. Never kept overnight for it. Have any other conditions that would make them want to watch you overnight? Good luck. |

My nephew had a doctor open-up his wrong leg. The new nurse in prep put an X on the leg that wasn't to be worked on, and the doctor's staff usually used an X to mark where to do the surgery. So, they changed their protocol to be an X where to do the surgery and an unhappy face :( on the wrong side. So, I suggest an unhappy face on the left arm.z

Don't even waste time, write in BIG letters "WRONG ARM" on your good arm, so there is absolutely NO mistake.

Shoulder (rotator cuff) in '86. Hurt real bad. Not as bad as the appendix in '91 though. Just be sure to rehab properly and take it easy afterwards if you have any pain doing something. Hopefully, you'll get a shot of demerol (appendix). That be some good sh*t.
