So I was scheduled for surgery last week at Pottstown Hospital. I’m totally freaking out. I’m a hard stick so they weren’t able to get IV access so now I’m supposed to go this Friday so that they can put a pick line that goes to my heart for anesthesia, which is absolutely crazy to me because I’ve been doing my research and they could put a midline catheter that goes midline of my arm to my armpit rather than the pick line that has more risks I’m starting to think like do these doctors even know what they’re doing and am I gonna be the one percent that has some crazy complications because of where I’m going? Mind you I’ve had this gallstone that’s just been getting bigger since 2021 no major issues you know some dope pain. Guess I can tell recently that it’s getting worse because I’m starting to get shoulder pain and things like that so I really just wanted to get it over with, but I’m scared of what the outcome is gonna be.

Any body have any suggestions on what food to eat to prevent attacks I went to Pottstown Hospital yesterday for a supposed to be outpatient procedure. They couldn’t find a vein because I’m a hard stick. I’m a recovering addict so last week I went to Pottstown ER they inserted the IV and still over a week later my arm is still bruised. The outpatient clinic used the sonogram to look for a vein and they couldn’t find any and I think a good problem because of that is one of my veins ain’t good and so you’re not allowed to drink anything after 12 PM so I was dehydrated. They say that they’re either gonna have to do a central line or a port in my arm that goes to my heart and I’m freaking out about it so I’m trying to wait and see if I have any other options
