Hey Everyone,
I believe this is my first post on BP! I'm getting really excited, after 14 long months, a suuuuper sketchy insurance battle, and losing 35lbs pre-op I have a surgery date, October 24! ... Well it was October 24, but now I found out today it has been pushed back to the 27. In a lot of ways I am kinda happy about this because it means my surgery will be on a Monday instead of a Friday, a day my surgeon normally doesn't even do surgeries on. And being in the medical field, I know that a Monday morning surgeon = a refreshed surgeon. BUT, I can't help but feel like this thing is never going to happen and everything that could go wrong is going to and my surgery will be even more delayed. I'm trying to stay positive and I wouldn't say I'm anxious at this point (although I know it is coming), I'm just to the point where I'll believe it is going to actually happen when I've woken up from anesthesia in Recovery, haha. Glad I can vent this here, I have a parent that has the same stage 4 brain cancer that that girl that's been in the media this week has (the one claiming she's going to end her life on Nov 1st to prevent her suffering). So, there really isn't any room for complaining or even feeling frustrated in my home environment right now.
Thanks for reading!
