Chuck's Journey: Journal Entry #4

Chuck’s Journey: Journal Entry #4

 

Now that I decided to have the surgery I need to get Dr. Gedeon agree to do the surgery and allow all that I did in 2012 be used so I would not have to start again.  I schedule my appointment with the doctor and explained how circumstances had changed.  I had more time off from work and my wife was now encouraging me to have the surgery.  I had to have my endoscope and it went very well.  I ended up have a sever sore throat but I was fine the next day.  I also needed to have a filter implanted to prevent blood clots.  I am allergic to cat scan die.  I was told the day before I was going to have the endoscope that I needed to be on steroids.  I was at work and had no money in my pocket to get the prescription.  Luckily my supervisor gave me the co-pay and I had the prescription transferred to Watertown from Torrington.  I got them just in time not to have the procedure canceled.  The procedure went well, until the next day in the late afternoon I began having an allergic reaction to the cat scan die.  I quickly to benedryl and by the next day I was fine.  I have been told that they do not need to give me the cat scan die again.  Hurray!!!! This was very scary, I was afraid to go to sleep.  With these two procedure done I was ready to have my surgery.
