And then they CANCELED my surgery!!!!!
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!!!
Take care and hopefully we can meet in 2 weeks

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.
