...for registration for a surgery I'll have on Tuesday.
They asked me the normal stuff, if I had had any major disease lately, if I was on any medication etc.
Did a couple of blood tests, ECG, blood pressure, all standard procedure stuff.
The reason for the surgery is to remove a metal bar from my chest, that was inserted about three and a half years ago.
I had this condition called Pectus Excavatum, which is a cave-in in the chest caused by the sternum being behind the ribcage instead of on level with it.
So I went through the surgery known as the NUSS procedure, where the metal bar was inserted which caused it to pop out and flatten. It's like bracers for the rib cage.
It'll be nice to finally have it removed. It doesn't hurt, but I can feel it pretty much constantly.

I never actually had to be hospitalized. Suprising because I act like Justin Beiber after drinking 10 cups of coffee
