Mother Nature Fighting Against Sugery

I'm due to be sleeved October 30th and I see the headline that a new perfect storm is going to hit the East Coast at the same time. I beat the doctors and their tests, I beat the insurance company and now I have to beat Mother Nature herself to get this done.

No problem, just another obstacle to climb right over ;)

And climb over it you will.It is so worth it!

Mother Nature can't always win. :)

Plus she tends to be finicky and frequently changes her mind.

Hospitals have really big generators. Which by the way are already sold out all over Jersey...

The hospital doesn't worry me. Babies are born every day no matter the weather. That part will be fine.

What worries me is being without power for a week when I go home. Last year we lost power for 9 days from a hurricane and then a week during Halloween from a freak snow storm. The power utilities in CT are terrible. Recovering from surgery in a cold, dark house is not going to be fun. Hope it doesn't come to that.

You probably have already done this but buy everything you will need before hand.

Make a list of every possible item u might need and get it plus some :)

Best of luck to you!!

I'm fighting mother nature as well. Just started my first period after having a baby and I'm getting sleeved in a week! Haha hopefully it will be done by then!

I'm having the same exact issue with Mother Nature && my surgery date is October 31st :) were 1 day difference lol

Looking real dicey. Mandatory evacuation south of the hospital. Not so sure I want to recover in a house without power for a week. This is going to be miserable no matter what.

Me tooo! My surgery is the 30th and I am a little worried about my surgery being canceled just hoping for the best

I am soo nervous about my surgery being canceled as well..praying that everything will work out

Valley hospital just called me my surgery is canceled for tomorrow! Hurricane sandy sucks have to reschedule
