What a whirlwind! Surgery on July 19!

[passion4film 44]

Phew! What a week it's been!

I got notification of a work investigation on me last Thursday, and had to sweat it out without pay until Tuesday, when I was notified that I was fired. (It's a long story, but it wasn't anything bad or shady on my part - more like a technicality.) I was so dejected, thinking I'd lose my surgery, which was scheduled for August 15, since my insurance ends July 31.

Well, I called my surgical center and they worked hard for me and now I have my surgery on WEDNESDAY! This Wednesday! Ahhhhhh!!!

I was supposed to be on a 2-week pre-op diet, but now it's going to be 4 days. I have to get all my last appointments done in the next few days instead of the next 30. It's a crazy time, but I'm so grateful I get to have my surgery still!

I'm so excited, grateful, astonished, and nervous!!! Ahhhhhhgh!!! :-)

A technicality? That is just ridiculous! I am so glad you were able to still get the surgery. On the bright side, you'll have a decent amount of time to get the recovery your body needs! I wish you the best of luck.

It's so good that they were able to do that for you! At least with the whirlwind of activity, you won't have time to get too nervous! Good luck, and a speedy recovery.
