Usually they do all of the paper work, get your weight and height, (for anesthetic purposes) ask about allergies to meds, that kind of thing.

Good luck! :)

I just wasn't sure if they were going to have to stab me with a needle for blood work I get real anxious about that. I mean I'll look real calm on the outside but on the inside I have to chant to myself don't pass out. I'm fine with flue shots burns getting punched in the face but something about blood work makes me real sketchy

I'm the kind of person that can psych myself up or psych myself out and right at this moment I'm trying to figure out some reason why surgery is stupid lol.

Its not like I'm scared to die. I think death would be a nice break from life because I believe in God and heaven BUT IM scared of the thought of what if this doesn't work and I'm out of options. What if there so concerned about the front of the shoulder that they don't check the back where about 30% of the pain is . u know stupid stuff like that

Perfectly normal to worry about something that as serious as surgery. Just make sure you ask your doctor and the surgeon EVERY question you have. Write them down tonight and read them at the appt. That's what I do, or I'll forget something I meant to ask.
