Surgery Date Moved Up!!!!!
Jul 11, 2009
I’ve got some crazy news for you guys!!!!Earlier this week I went to my surgeon’s office to drop off paper work that my jobs HR department needed them to complete. I was planning to leave work early Friday to pick up the documents so that I can have them to HR by Monday morning. So I called the office to make sure they were ready for pick up and the Service Coordinator informs me that the Senior Surgical Coordinator needs to speak with me regarding the paper work, and she would call me back in a few. I’m like ok…totally thinking it’s nothing, I sit at my desk and continue to check email.
About 20 minutes later, my cell rings and the SSC proceeds to tell me that the date I originally picked for my surgery needed to be changed. I got kind of nervous because I work in the Higher Education field and I decided it would be best for me to schedule my surgery for the third week in September because the first two weeks are when the students come back and it’s one of the busiest times of the semester....I wanted to be back in time for spring registration which usually starts in late October.
So I’m like “ok… what dates are available?” and as she's telling me it just seemed like September was out of the question. Then she goes “we can do the end of the July or early August….” People my face was screaming “WHAT!!!!! THAT’S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!!!” I pulled myself together and told her that I would need to speak with my boss about an August date and would call her back shortly. I call my boss (who's been very understanding and supportive throughtout this entire process :-)) explain the situation to her and she agrees that I should take the earliest date in August. So I call the surgeon’s office back and inform her that AUGUST 5TH, 2009, is the date!!!! I’m getting a headache just typing this…lol
After I got off the phone I felt like I was in the twilight zone guys…I just sat at my desk in shock. I totally wasn’t expecting to have the surgery this soon. I was soo surprised that I literally gave myself a migraine. I started getting all types of muscles pains…it felt surreal….lol But I reminded myself that God allows all things to happen for a reason….called my fiancé gave him the news, then called my BFF...vented to her about it for a bit, then my mom and sister. All very supportive :-)
My surgery is now 3 weeks away and I don’t know how to feel about it:-/ Don’t get me wrong I’m totally excited!!!! But it’s like my feelings are split in two…one side is saying “great I can do this and get it over with”, and the other side is like “SHIT I HAVEN’T EVEN PICKED A PROTEIN SHAKE YET”….LOL
