So, apparently there's some seriously screwed up things wrong with my blood, so the surgery yesterday was tentatively rescheduled for today... pending re-testing.
The new testing came back today and... results are even worse than yesterday. So surgery is indefinitely postponed. They can't operate on someone with these blood test results when said patient already has multiple effed up risk factors.
Among several other things out of range (which are quite weird and have no known cause), it also looks like I have some kind of super massive infection or inflammation. However, I have no fever, no pain, nothing inflamed (that I know of) and no recent illness. I really feel ok. Weird. WTF? Everything was pretty much fine just a few months ago!
So, I must go to see my Hausartzt (GP/family doc) as soon as humanly possible to try to figure out what the hell is going on before I keel over. We're calling them tomorrow, hopefully for an appointment Monday. I expect more blood tests and likely a referral to a specialist.
God only knows when and if I'll ever be able to get my knee surgery now. They said they won't operate until this gets resolved.
There's always something else wrong.
Maybe I'm allergic to Germans.

I hope it gets resolved quickly! You may be on to something with being allergic to Germans. I am beginning to think I am too! ;)
Egads...hope everything is a-ok.
Thanks.
Yeah, I'm really going for that 'allergic to Germans' thing. They haven't pinpointed the cause yet, so it's entirely possibly =;-)
