? 11-22 Panzer AMPS 169/169@+2.75/116@+7/ I may have to go in for emergency surgery/ dose for Panzer

Was just thinking about you. Be careful about the Ibuprofen because it definitely thins the blood and increases the risk of bleeding. In fact, red wine, fish oil, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), aspirin, Naproxen (Aleve) and quite a few herbal supplements do thin the blood and should be avoided before surgical procedures. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) does not thin the blood so it’s okay to use as long as your doctor doesn’t have any reason why you cannot take it. I would see about stopping the blood thinning meds at least 48 hours prior to any surgery. Check with your doc.

My family doctor told me the same thing to stop the ibuprofen a week before the surgery & take Tylenol, also the brochure that I got from the surgery center has that listed on there to stop taking 7 days before my surgery. When I was on the phone with the surgeon on what to do about stopping the bleeding, he said to max my dosage out on the ibuprofen & take it all the way up until the surgery. I said something to him about my family doctor & the brochure saying to stop the ibuprofen & he said that's just asprin. I'm not sure if I can take Tylenol. My Mom & both of my sisters had allergic reactions to it, they all broke out with hives. I think tomorrow will just be my last day to take it & see what happens. My biggest concern is the general anthesia. After my Mom had a stroke having her gallbladder taken out while under anthesia I'm scared! I've had one surgery since she passed away & that was emergency surgery on my leg from a lawn mower accident. I have so many of her bad traits it's not even funny. At the beginning of November I was having vision problems dizziness & numbness & tingling in my hands & feet twice a few days apart. All symptoms of a stroke, my Mom had several mini stokes over the years prior to the big one. I told my doctor so she did bloodwork at my pap smear appointment. Everything came back fine & no episode's since then.
 
I didn't get to test Panzer today due to my car breaking down. I just paid $175 of my rent $ just to get it towed back to my hometown, not sure how much it's going to cost to fix it.:banghead: I was working 25miles from home! Why couldn't this have happened tomorrow or the next day,:arghh: I work in my hometown both days! Luckily Cam was able to come & feed the boys. I've got my daughter's back up car so I guess I have something to be grateful for!
 
Oh, Christina. I'm sorry about your car. And the towing bill! I have a roadside assistance plan on our insurance and it pays for towing... can't tell you how many times I've used that! I find car problems to be really distressing (lack of car... expensive repairs!) But you have a back up car so I'm really happy to hear that. You have a great daughter.

I called my car insurance company & they said to bring them the tow bill & they will reimburse it to me. My car insurance bill was due yesterday though so I will have to give them $130 back. I was planning on paying it late so I could get my rent paid but not going to be able to do that now. A friend of mine is going to meet me up at the automotive place where it's at & see if he can fix it. I doubt they will let him fix it on there lot if he can even fix it. My daughter is a God send, I really don't know what I would do without her. I wish my son would help me out more but he's to busy with work!

He is doing better with the increase. I'm glad! He says... Mom, don't worry, I'm going to be a good boy for you!

I don't know if it's because I changed sides that I'm shooting him or if he's just doing well with it. I don't feel a Lantus pocket on that side like I did on the side I'm shooting on now but it's long gone so we're switching sides for now.
