Yay! Approved!! Argh...Dr. going on 3 Week Vacation?! WTH?

May 24, 2011

Got that wonderful call today telling me that I have been appoved for surgery......then the call from the surgeon's nurse telling me that I need to attend the BEGIN program (which I was expecting)....she told me that after she receives my certificate from that class, she would schedule me for a meeting with the surgeon. So, excited me I say YAY and ask her what a round about date might be for my surgery...she said OHH the Dr is taking a 3 week vacation in June so probably the end of June or July. WTH??? Out of all 12 months of the year, why in the HELL did he have to schedule a 3 week vacation in JUNE??! AHHH!! Trying to tell myself that a month or so MORE won't matter but damnit it DOES! I am frustrated. 7 months to get here then told ANOTHER month...I even asked if I could switch surgeons (which sound like it takes an act of congress even though I haven't actually had an appointment with him-just that introductory class) and possibly get an earlier date....nope the other surgeons are booking at least 3 weeks out and I would have to do the sleep apnea thing and see the heart Dr and the class all BEFORE I even get to see the surgeon....I will hopefully look back and say it came really quickly.....not that it will matter at this point because right NOW it is taking FOREVER! I know that it will be ok and that it gives me another month or so to eat whatever before I crack down and change my life for the better. I realize this.....but durn it sure is hard being patient...ESPECIALLY since I am not able to take my bc pills....they keep me sooooo much calmer than I am without them and now I will have to wait ANOTHER month before I can take them again. OK...I guess I will quit whining and resume my 'normal' life.....for now.....
