Stress test wait times?
Turns out that my surgery wasn't officially postponed like I thought it was judging by an email I had received. Going to make some calls in the morning to see what I can find out, but if I can be somewhat informed all the better.
Right now a stress test is all that stands in my way of have surgery potentially in a couple weeks, although my pesimistic side is telling me it's likely too late.
Would certainly be a great birthday present if I could make this somehow work today. Speaking of which...I'm feeling old.

I'm now waiting to see what my family doctor's office does. They paged him with a message regarding my inquiry, but I'm fairly certain this won't be facilitated as quickly as I had hoped.
I'll update if I find anything else out.
And thanks for the birthday wishes.

Unfortunately surgery has been officially delayed by the surgeon. And not only that, but they've changed what they want from the bloodwork panel so I've now taken a step backwards. This change means I need to setup a doctor appointment and get a new requisition as the one I already have is no good.
I'm honestly getting frustrated with the entire thing. I'm ready to throw in the towel and call it quits.
I though that contacting the Ministry of Health and getting them involved would speed things up, but it has only delayed everything. I guess the old addage "If you want something done right, do it yourself!" really speaks volumes for this.
So I don't know. I've been busting my ass to get everything done, which is taking a toll on me. I may tell everyone involved to buzz off and I'LL let YOU know when I'm ready.
This hasn't exactly been a great birthday. And the email from the surgeon's office certainly didn't help.
I've been working on this for almost a year and a half now. I think I am entitled to be officially pissed off now, eh?

I think that this all happened on my birthday that it just seemed to be much worse than it really is. I'm still not happy about the change to the blood test panel, and I made sure to note that in a responding email.
It is unfortunate cir****tances, but out of my hands now.
