Less Than 24 Hours Away

Jul 11, 2011

Ahhhh, it seems as if it has taken so long to get so far.  My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:15am.  I've made all the necessary arrangements and am preparing for the bowel prep to begin at 11:00am today.  I decided to take a long walk with Yorkie to try and relax before 11.  I returned home at 9:30am to find several messages on my voice mail from the pre-admission team at the hospital.  Now I begin to worry, have they rescheduled my surgery for another day, is there something wrong that will prohibit me having the surgery??  I wait pensively while I call them to find out what is wrong......the nurse says, "Did your surgeon's office call you about rescheduling your surgery?"  I give a heavy sigh and said, "No, I haven't spoken with anyone about it."  I have to say in what seemed like an eternity, she final tells me that the surgery time has been changed from 9:15am to 7:15am and that I should be there by 6:00am.  I got very excited;  and she explained I needed to start the bowel prep earlier than planned and she'd see me in the morning.
