Surgery Cancelled

babyjessica · August 10, 2006

K@t I don't think you understand. My surgery has been cancelled twice. If your surgery was cancelled twice in 1 week you would feel the same. It is natural to question things when you are all ready then you are told no we have to wait another month.

Everyone has doubt about having surgery. It not like people just like to be cut on everyday. Doubt will creep in your mind when you are cancelled not once but twice.

I have made up my mind about this surgery. To pay $15000.00 for this surgery you have to be mentally prepared but doubt will have creep up if things continue to happen to make you have doubt.

I went through the same thing. My date was for Sept 19th last year. I had it set in my mind and was ready to go. Then they called and cancelled and couldn't reschedual until Nov 9th! I was so bummed out that we book a cruise for Oct 13th. Then they call back and said that the Dr was leaving the practice and to make a long story short I had my surgery on Sept 26th. Less than 3 weeks out I was on the cruise. I felt great kept up with everyone that was with us. I had no food problems everything went great.

So hang in there, it will be ok. Theres a reason why your date is changed just take it in and know that its for the best.

My surgery went from Nov 10th to Dec 6th, I know how disappointed I was with one cancellation, I can only imagine with two cancelled appointments.

BabyJessica: Just to let you know, if you didn't get my email.. My surgery is sheduled for Sept 8th. I could of done it on the the 1st, but I am a controller for my company and need to be here for our end of the month closings. So it is the 8th.. I also had to choose between the the 1st and the 8th because I have to have my surgery at the Medical Center of Arlington and Dr. Carter only does surgery there on Fridays. Hang in there friend.. It will be here before we know it. I was upset too, but really it is out of our control. Just enjoy the rest of your summer and go on your trip and have fun. The next few week after that will be life changing! Hooray, I am ready for my life to change!
