Got to go and get my tests done in the Health Centre here as soon as possible. What happens at this Preparatory appointment @Slowlycatchymonkey? Wot Bob said. Essentially it is to make sure nothing will prevent the surgery from happening on the day, that the op goes smoothly and nothing interferes with recovery. So medical history, medications, a checklist of questions, and some health checks like ECG and bloods. Pretty straight forward stuff and nothing I can imagine you’d fall foul of so long as you’re taking those BP meds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, I did have tests done in July anyway, and at the time the doc said that the slightly high BP I had wouldn't have delayed the op. But I don't have to do the Covid test yet.....it has to be the day before. Normally how many days after the Preparatory would I have the op? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't have to do the Covid test yet.....it has to be the day before. Normally how many days after the Preparatory would I have the op? Depends on the waiting list and hospital policy. In the UK they usually aim for within two weeks and land up under 6 weeks. BUT the policy can say a preop is valid for three or even six months (so long as someone asks the patient if theres been any changes) and that depends on the individual hospital. I understand the backlog Covid has caused has royally screwed it all up. I know nothing of how Spains hospitals work but I’d guess they aim for the same - soon as possible under six weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Unbelievable. My sons being students n all that have been keeping an eye on their electricity consumption and it’s been spiking once a day to around the 7-10kw mark for an hour or so. Sometimes in the middle of the night and sometimes when they’ve been down here and the place is empty. They’ve been trying to resolve the issue and have had a large list of tasks to perform. Forward three weeks… It’s the wrong meter. They’ve been paying someone else’s electricity bill. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are shite I completely agree, someone else in the building has gone back to a normal meter and their bill halved But without the smart meter they never would have known about when the spikes in electricity or when they occurred and prolly just thought the place used a lot of electricity. At least know they’ll be on their own meter and be able to keep an eye on whether their bills and usage match. If they don’t they it’ll be back to a normal meter for them too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
