Surgery Date Drama

Dec 10, 2011

So my last visit was a month ago and I was told I would get called with my surgery date and the date of the class I needed to take that discusses what happens in the hospital and what to expect when I get home.  I called their office four times last week before I finally got a call back.  She said that I need to come up for my seminar on Thursday (not much notice, I have a two hour drive) and that they are trying to schedule my surgery for Feb 13th.  WHAT?!?!?!  What happened to December?  I got the "sorry, the holidays, he is booked, etc, etc" speech.  But she said she would look into it.  No call back for another four days so I began my daily call again.... and no reply.  So when I went up on Thursday for this class I had to take, I sat in the office until someone got ahold of the person I needed.  She never came out and spoke with me, she relayed messages to me over the phone through another nurse in the office.   As of right now I am scheduled for Feb 13th (which is right in the MIDDLE of my senior internship) BUT if anyone cancels they will call me to fill the vacancy.

Ugh!  I do NOT wnat to miss my internship, but I want my surgery.  So I have already contacted all the people at my school.  They are all aware of my surgery date (although I am hoping someone cancels so I can be moved up) and my school has been so accepting, thank goodness!  So right now I am getting ready for the holidays.  I had hoped I would have surgery before Xmas and not hae to worry about the food I was making, but no such luck.  I am being alittle bad right now because I figure my two week pre-op liquid diet will take care of any extra pounds I may gain from now until then.... totally wrong philosophy, I know, but they have me stressed, and I am so a stressed eater--- I can't wait until foods make me sick, then I really won't eat them!!!

Happy Holidays!!!!  :)
