So He Decided To Cut Back

[gelen's_change 157]

So today i get a phone call from my surgeons office and guess what? They tell me that the surgery date has changed and now insted of it being november 26 its gonna be december 17 because the suRgeon decided to cut back on the surgeries per day. Im so mad. Not only cuz they changed it but because i have 2 baby boys and im not gonna be able to have fun with them on christmas. Im so sad i was so happy but ill just have to wait 3 months. :'( i just want to cry.

I'd phone the surgeon back, and explain your situation, cry a little and get him to fit you

In!!!! Good luck xxx

Well ... it could be a good thing. Do you really want to have a surgeon who feels he is performing too many surgeries a day? I know I wouldn't want to have my surgeon not be 100% comfortable with where he is at mentally and physically.

Dec 17 ... that will be plenty of time to be back in action for Christmas. I had my surgery on a Friday and was back at work the next Wednesday. Just make sure you have some endurance going into the surgery. Start your exercise regimin now and you will be amazed at how quickly you will rebound from surgery.

Perhaps you can get an open spot if someone moves/cancels their surgery?

You will be just fine, I too was up to going back to work early, about 5 days out but Dr made me take three weeks. Just think, what a great Christmas present for yourself!

I'm sure you'll be fine. You will have plenty of time to recover before Christmas. Just do your shopping ahead of surgery and decorate, whatever you do. Then you can just relax afterward. I was back to work after 5 days and now 10 days out I feel great. Plus, you will be having it just in time to start your New Year's resolutions :-)
