Hi my name is Ann, I recieved an appointment letter from the anaethesis department for a review as part of a pre-operation followup for surgery on my knees. Could you please tell me what is involved with a, Review for a Pre-anaethesia Bilateral Knee Operation? also is it possible, I could have the operation same day of the review?, even though I was told my operation would be schedule for a later date.My second concern, I have had a bad dry cough over a week now which is slowly getting better after taking a course of antibiotics.I understand that having this cough could place a risk on my chances of having the operation.I am 69, and generally in good health with no weight problems, heart or pulmonary desease nor is there any family history in these areas and I am not on any regular medications.Could it be possible that I may not pass this review because of my cough and the operation will then be cancelled?
