My wife had her 6th surgery on her ear yesterday. None happened after covid hit until now. She has to be put under each time, about 2 hrs of surgery. The first round of questions were normal pre-op. Then started the clot questions. Then any cancer issues. “Have you had any blood clots recently. Had any cancer recently”. Etc etc.. Then first time ever put the leg compressions on pre-op. She had NEVER had this before. Tell me.. what are they hiding. Hmmm. 🤔🤫. The answers are all around us.

A few years ago I had to have back surgery, well before covid, for the first time I had to wear the compression socks to prevent blood clots. My mom had knee surgery when I was a teen and she got a blood clot after surgery. Compression socks during surgery is not new, I think it depends on age or type of surgery. In my early 20’s had mouth surgery in the army…no compression socks. Had to have a broken piece of bone removed from wrist mid 20’s no compression socks. No doubts though they will move the compression socks to younger and younger patients as blood clots become “normal” for them. They aren’t normal for young people….middle age yes. So compression socks aren’t new, I used them in 2016 for back surgery.
I totally get that. Ive had them too but way more invasive surgery on lungs. This was.. Same doctor. Same clinic. Same nurses. Exact same surgery. Last surgery was late 2019. Basically cut into ear to remove crud. No questions like this. These were very direct. Very serious acting. Not just a questionnaire.
Wow! Yup definitely changing. Crazy about her ears, that must be miserable! Prayers she doesn’t have any other problems from here out.
