Waiting...Surgery set for Oct 17th!

Aug 20, 2011

Some days I can't believe I picked a surgery date so far away...I was called on July 26th and told to pick a date for my surgery!  I didn't even know I had been approved by through my insurance company.  I actually had called the office on the 25th to find out how it was going with the paperwork and they said, "We are still processing it."

Some of you may be surprised I got to pick my date but I work basically within the same health care system as my doctor and I needed to build up some time off so I had the luxury of actually coordinate the surgery with my work and family.  However this also meant I had to put it off but then I didn't want to wait till after the holidays. 

This means I'm going to have about 3 months of waiting under my belt by the time the surgery gets here.  :)

But it does allow me to really absorb some great advice from those that have had the surgery and also allows me time to pick and choose who I tell ahead of time.  I am actually plesantly surprised by the out pouring of well wishes and support from family. 

It's also allowed me to find and met a few people on here as well that are kindly allowing me to ask them questions whenever I wish! 

I am really enjoying the site emensly and hope one day to be a vet that can give someone else advice.
