I should be okay though because they did all that stuff a couple weeks ago and now they know about my aneurysm so I am sure it will be okay. Yeah, I knew about the antibiotics with dental work but I only knew that because I have the same blood disease as my mom and she always has to get antibiotics too. I have only had my wisdom teeth out which was at least 10 years ago and I had to have them then too. Plus with my disease I get infections so easily and it is hard to get rid of them because my white count. Anyway, yeah it is interesting though because I never would have thought about that either. I also never understand why you have to stop certain meds before surgery but I do that too. I am really excited to have this surgery especially because I am so sick of not being able to charge and how it seems to add to the pain because it creates the tugging feeling inside. I will let you all know how the pre-op appointment goes and I will be sure to ask those questions. Thanks for your reply Tara.
