So yeah I am not having surgery tomorrow. Apparently, there was some sort of mix up and they had told me my surgery day was March 19th, but apparently in their calendar they had my surgery date as TODAY! HUH! EXCUSE ME! SO the nurse the called me this morning and asked where I was and if I was on my way. I told her that my surgery wasn't until tomorrow. As there was some HUGE mix up somewhere. All I know if I had the 19th on my calendar adn every appt I went to they kept telling me the 19th, then the nurse called me yesterday she told me the 19th at 3pm. So I am not sure if people just can't read or what, but all I know is I had the right date. Don was pretty upset as well, he called and gave the nurse a piece of his mind. She called me a little while after he talked to her and apologized over and over again and even gave me the doctors home # to call him and talk to him about what happened.

You have I have to say I was really sad, mad, frustrated earlier, but now I know there is nothing I can do about it. It is just hard, I haven't eaten in  the past two days (which hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it would be) and I was mentally prepared to have surgery. All my paperwork for work was done and ready, my job was taking measures to make sure my work got done while I was gone, I had gotten child care taken care for Stella while I was in the hosptial. It wasn't just having to reschedule the surgery, it was having to reschedule EVERYTHING, so that really sucks. So now I will be having surgery on April 2nd. I know it is only two week away, but it is two weeks away. IT just sucks surgery was supposed to be tomorrow and now it is in TWO WEEKS! Dr.Ikramuddin said "everything happens for a reason" and I do beleive that, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. But at least I know for sure I will have the 25 pounds I needed to lose off by then. I was actually only 4 pounds away. This is totally something that would happen to me, why me? Rose

Oh Shute! That sucks! I know this might even be hard to hear right now, but. . . sometimes things happen for a reason. (Okay, you're probably gagging at this, I understand.) BUT, So many times, in my life, I thought things were BAD, when they ended up to be GOOD. Because of how many times that has happened to me, I now trust in Destiny/God to drive me. I know it must feel horrible and I think we can all relate to the frustration you must be feeling. (Ask Lisa, she was horrified at the thought of her's being postponed.)

Breathe. . . Stay on the boards where folks understand. . .  Your feelings show how ready and prepared you are so, congratulate yourself for THAT, and. . . maybe treat yourself to something special; a massage, new soft luxurious blanket, tickets to a show/concert, I don't know, something soothing. . .  Glad you shared and we'll be pulling for your patience. It will come and you will be fine, in time, then on to the loser's bench for life! Peace, Cindy

I'm so sorry.  That completely sucks!  But, at least it ain't over, just delayed.

oh wow~  I feel so badly for you.  It's awful when not only are YOU ready to go, but you have a whole bunch of things organized for it, like work and daycare. Best wishes for April 2nd!!!

You have EVERY RIGHT to be pissed off!  But I believe in Karma, and even if you NEVER KNOW the reasons, you just have to believe that tomorrow wasn't right for you.  And be thankful that the Good Lord knows best. And if you're not into that, just think of the immortal words of Garth Brooks - "Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers..."   Just because he may not answer, doesn't mean he's not there...   Some of God's greatest gifts ARE unanswered prayers.

CRAP!!!!  But hang in there -- it will happen.  It can be angering, and inconvenient, but it will happen.  Keep the faith!!!

I am sorry I agree that that must really suck I can not believe they would have a mistake like that and not catch it until the day of surgery.  I pray that all will go well come April 2nd and hey maybe you will be able to loose more than that last 4 pounds and impress them all!

Hold onto that.. everything happens for a reason. It will work out, and you will be on the losers bench with the rest of us soon enough.
