I need emotional support OH family!!!

On last Friday I was given a surgery date. The date was almost perfect. On yesterday I received a call from my doctor telling me that he was leaving the practice and moving to another area. It really broke my heart because we've made a connection and built a relationship. He said he wouldn't be able to do my surgery on the Dec. 29Th because he wouldn't be able to give me the follow-up care I needed at that practice. He gave me some options of moving my surgery up or have his partner do my surgery. I felt like the rug was snatched from beneath me. I don't have family here where I live and my mom was planning on coming here on the 28Th of Dec. and she would be out on winter break from school (she works in the school system). My daughter will be home from college but there's no one like your mom. So I went in today to meet with his partner with all intentions that he would be able to do my surgery as planned on the 29Th and this as of now is not the case. I explained everything to him as well and he along with my original doctor apologizes for all the inconveniences. The new doc. is suppose to give me a call later on this afternoon. I hope things goes as planned. I am just so hurt. We do alot to get to this point and then to have everything rip right from you is very discouraging. Please keep me in your prays.

Oh, Ivory, how disappointing and stressful.  I'm sure the partner is trying to accomodate everyone that is in your situation.   How much earlier could the partner do the surgery, and could you 'make it on your own', until your Momma gets there?  Do you like/trust the partner enough to do the follow up after someone elses surgery?  Do you like/trust him enough to actually do the surgery and the follow up?

I pray everything works out for you.  Hang in there and TRY to be patient and understanding.  If God leads you to it, he will see you through it.

Thank you so much. I really do trust both of these doctors. Ive done a whole lot of research on them and there work. I actually work at the hospital they practice. This group has very outstanding ratings with patient care. I can manage without my mom if I had to. My co-workers will help out if need be. Its just so stressful because my live revolves around a schedule that goes out 6-8wks in advance. Unfortunately that's how most hospital work schedules are. Take care and have a Happy Holiday.

I'm sorry for your disappointment and I can only imagine your stress right now. Please know that while it may not happen as we wanted and planned, it will all be okay because he is here watching over you and taking care of you.

Remember, it will be okay...

 

Sweetie, I am so sorry about the upset.  I had no idea that Jon was leaving the practice.  But Doc Roc is just as awesome.  Hang in there and remember that when one door closes, another opens, even bigger.  (God sometimes changes my plans without consulting with me, too!)

Ivory,  I know that roadbumps like these can be stressful but I encourage you to keep positive and optimistic!  Will be waiting anxiously to see how this new path to your prize works it's way out for you.  {{{Hugs}}}

Ivory, I'm so sorry... But I like to think that things happen for a reason. I have the feeling Dr Bauman will try his best to get you a similiar date! Positive thoughts and prayers going your way!

Ivory,

Dr. Bauman is an excellent Doctor and I would highly recommend him. I do understand your disappointment though.  It sure is odd they scheduled you just Friday, and now he's going. Any idea why?  Just wierd.

Ivory - I am like Nancy - why is your doc suddenly going to be leaving... something sounds fishy...

But as for having the surgery, I hope things will work out close to the same time you were wanting.  I would probably take the date that is offered and you know you will be in the hospital for 3 days, and then your mother could come to help along with your daughter.

Praying things work out...
