Surgery tomorrow

I can't believe my surgery is tomorrow. Went through a panic moment this afternoon but now I'm feeling better. The prep isn't very fun the day before surgery but like anything this too shall pass (literally)????. I pray for no complications! I will post again postoperative.

Actually, the surgeon cancelled my surgery 15 minutes before my surgery time. I had my IV started and the anesthesiologist saw me. The surgeon looked at my abdomen and saw a couple superficial scratches and said if he had to convert to an open procedure, one of them would be in the area and he didn't want to risk infection. I'm a nurse and I was in complete shock to cancel surgery because of a couple superficial scratches. I have never seen that before. So, I am switching surgeons and hoping to have the surgery in January or Feb. I was so bummed.

Oh my goodness, @@rmckellips! That's terrible! I can't imagine getting so psyched up and then having everything fall apart at the last minute. I would be royally P!SSED 0FF. I'm glad to hear you're looking for an alternative and planning to move ahead soon. It's impossible not to lose a little bit of momentum from this, but it's still important and you can make it happen. Best of luck pushing ahead.
