Re: more surgery -now the other leg

are you anemic? Femur surgeries can lose a lot of blood. Since you are on chemo as well, your ability to replenish your red blood count may be limited.

Since you are about to have a second femur surgery, perhaps you might ask if it wouldn't be smarter/helpful starting with a higher red blood count rather than a lower one.

Definitely wouldn't be good to get woozy from anemia and faint/fall after femur surgeries I would thnk.
