Fingers Crossed

Perhaps take a printed sheet in of your requirements/needs.
That's what I am going to do when I go for pre op Monday week and will also take a copy when admitted, plus my pump manual.
Glad to hear you are on the mend.

How about a one pager with just the most important info that's relevant to what they're doing. You could even laminate it and keep it next to the bed.

I could but I'm on various, meds , complicated medical history you know the score they just don't take any notice, unless they've asked and written it them selves which is so so annoying:(

Glad to hear your pump did the job and you are safely home and recovering @masonbason63 :)

Were you worried about keeping your pump running with the use of x rays in the theatre? I was going to keep mine running for my last orthopaedic operation but when I spoke to Medtronic about it and knew there were going to be x rays to position the metal in my leg I decided I'd have to opt for a dark ages sliding scale instead - something I really dread having to do.

I've always taken my pump off for x rays and scans, perhaps I'm being over cautious!

The thought never even crossed my mind that they would x-Ray me for an arthroscopic procedure I don't even know if the did. I know when I have a knee replacement I'll be X-rayed I'll just pass it to one of the team for the few minutes it takes
