Yes. The nurse just called me again. She says High normal for PTT is 35. The result of my first PTT was 48. The result of today's PTT is 46.
I don't know if that means my blood is taking too long to clot...or it is clotting too fast. (Sorry if tmi)
I was hoping it was a lab error. Guess not.
The nurse emailed the new results to the surgeon. The nurse said the doctor will -likely- want me to see a hematologist and get this figured out before she will do surgery. : (
At this point, surgery is still up in the air.
The nurse says if the doc answers her today, she will call me. Otherwise someone will call me tomorrow.
