Surgery Rescheduled

[misselaines]

Hi everyone,
I posted a little while back about my surgery date of April 13 (cath on 4/12). Surgeon's office called to change date due to 'surgeon's schedule'. Anyway, I have a new date of May 12 for the cath, and May 13 for the AVR (mech) and the Ascending Aorta replacement surgery.
I'm kinda bummed about it; I was getting myself to that zone of acceptance of the upcoming surgery. Now, I have to wait another month. I figure # 13 must be lucky for me.

"surgeon's schedule" = Golf. Spring has sprung.

Perhaps someone in the surgeon's family is having surgery and it's something pretty critical, although elective; perhaps he's/she's rearranging his/her schedule and having to take that day off.
And then the income tax deadline looming......... (can't imagine that one, just threw it in).
Who knows what schedules our surgeons keep............................. I'd like to have their money, just not their schedules. )

It's party at Club Med with the kids time!

You know, indeed it might be some recreational or family thing with the surgeon. As I recall, mine had a skiing trip before my surgery came about. But I wanted him relaxed and stress-free on my big day, and I figured the skiing might be just what the doctor ordered, so to speak. I know it's frustrating though to have to wait another month. Just try to use the extra time for R&R if you can.

I put you on the VR calendar for May 13.

Sorry to hear about the surgery bump. I'm set for April 26th and I'm ready to start the recovery process.

LOL! I never thought of golf; I did think of tax accountant time though. Now I know what its like to be a space shuttle astronault ready to go when they decide to abort the mission.

Thanks Bina. Thanks Jacqui.
Best wishes and prayers to Scott.

Same thing happened to me--but they told me at 5p.m. the day before! SCREECH...my planning came to a grinding halt. Actually, even with just a couple days' delay, I found myself even more prepared when it finally happened so I was grateful. I know the waiting time is hard, but just think of it as another hazard of being at the mercy of a heart surgeon!
