Hello all. Just want to thank everyone so much for the well wishes as I thought I was having surgery today. I was originally suppose to be Nov 15, but I received a call yesterday asking if I would be able and ready to have surgery Nov 1. After a quick family meeting, a few tears, rearranging daycare, I said yes. So | spend yesterday frantically trying to get everything ready ie. house cleaned, laundry done, beds striped, bag packed, fridge cleaned, grocery shopping, calling my support persons to let them know.........I get a call this am saying unfortunately I have been CANCELED.  Anyways, it is what it is i guess, and Dr. Sohi was kind enough to call me personally to both apologize that the administration would not allow the change to his surgery schedule (i guess a spot opened up and thats why I was offered the spot) and to thank me for the inconvenience. I guess its just not my time!!! I will continue on my Optifast routine and continue to prepare for my turn. Again, I big thank you to everyone for their kind words and well wishes for today. Please keep my spot warm on the bench as I will be there soon..

P.S. Kathy, i'm happy to say we are surgery twins again!!!

As nice as it is to have my surgery twin back I'm really sorry that you had to go through all this turmoil. I can only imagine that you are now both physically and emotionally drained but 2 weeks will come quick enough (and you can go through it all again).
Take care and hopefully we can meet in 2 weeks
Kathy

Hi Kathy, thank you for your kind words.  It was a crazy day yesterday, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and today just was not my day!! Anyways, back on Opti and wishing you a very speedy couple of weeks. Looking forward to meeting as we walk the halls!!!

No way! So so sorry this happened to you. I can't imagine the roller coaster your life has been as a result. I know someone through Ottawa that got prepped and all the way in to OR and got pulled out & cancelled for an emergency case. I guess you just never know for sure, huh?

Remember that an emergency case is always someone who has had surgery and has had complications (they use the same operating room).

A friend of mine had to have emergency surgery to fix a twisted bowel. She bumped all three surgeries that day.

It's good to know that if we have complications we don't have to wait.

That must be so disappointing to be all psyched and ready for it ...only to have it cancelled.  Well they say everything happens for a reason.   So hang in there ..Your turn is coming!
