So my surgery is scheduled for 12/29 and I'm feeling all the feelings: excited, nervous, concerned etc. But the worst thing is that because of Covid-19 my hospital is reviewing and cancelling/ rescheduling elective surgeries on pretty much a daily basis so that I won't know if I'm actually going to have surgery until xmas. I have 3 more days until my pre-op liquid diet and I'm not looking forward to the possibility that I'll have to stay on that without the surgery well into January if I get bumped. I'm also scared that I might get Covid while I'm there. This is so ridiculously stressful! I should be excited that I'm getting what I worked so hard for. Just gotta keep my fingers crossed I guess. =(

I would think if they have to reschedule your surgery they wouldn't make you stay on the pre-op diet until January - they'd probably let you stop and then start up again before your surgery. Unless you're just talking a few days..

also, they probably have the COVID patients on a separate wing/floor than the rest of the patients. That may not be true in the ER, but then, you're not going to the ER...

Yeah, you would think that, but NOPE! They already said I'd have to stay on pre-op diet because it'd be like a week or 2 extra. =(
