Thanks guys for the encouragement! I'm feeling a little down...Does anyone think the pre-testing on the 6th with surgery not until the 28th is scary???
I'm sorry your surgery was postponed. (I am a little surprised they couldn't get you in sooner the hospitals Justin goes to IF someone travelled far was postponed, they tried to squeeze them in the next available spot or ask a local patient IF they would mind giving up their spot, for someone that travelled, and I KNOW this because we are local so were postponed for that reason once.)
Any way last surgery, Justin had all his preop testing on the 4th for surgery supposedly the 5th, but was postponed (2 times) and finally had it on the 19th. The ONLY testing they had to redo was alll the bloodwork.
interestingly Justin had ER surgery 10 days later and Bumped a little girl from Tenn (we were in Philly) but since she and her family were in the area already, they bumped someone else and got her in the next full OR day (surgery should have been Friday, operated on her on Monday)
Justin has been bumped multiple times for most all of his surgeries, except the 2 he WAS the ER, and it is SO frustrating, since beside the fact you are just ready to have it be over with, you also made plans with work off, someone to watch the dogs ect and have to change everything, BUT I, like Ross, tend to believe in fate and really believe you have surgery when you are supposed to, when all the planets are right or what ever, and so far it seems to work that way. Justin was even bumped by 1 center 3 times and I remember thinking and telling Don and Justin,we are NOT supposed to have surgery here, someone is trying to tell us something, so went to the other surgeon Hospital I was leaning toward. and it worked out for the best.
with that said EVEN believing all of that, I still feel like yelling screaming and stomping my feet when his surgeries are bumped. So I really feel for you.
Will you be staying in the area all that extra time or fly home and back later and spend easter at home?
