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.

There is a range of reason your blood might not be clotting properly one is medications, another is foods Kale can slow your clotting time if you eat enough of regularly and genetic causes. Its been a long time since i have been in a lab and my memory may not be right.
