Dammit,

I psyched myself up, starved myself on liquids, took a laxative(sorry TMI), got up at the crack of dawn, dragged my 78 yr old grandma and mother with me, made it to the hospital, checked in all to be told my surgery had beeen CANCELED:eek::tt1::cursing:!!!!!!!!

My doctors patient coordinator calls me on my cell to say " Im sorry Ms M but Dr Jacob's wife had the BABY YESTERDAY! 2 weeks early !"

I love babies and they are a blessing but DAMMIT:mad: why didnt someone call me last night or the crack of dawn today!?? My doctor has my email address, cell and home phone numbers but no call until 9:32am this morning(surgery was at 10am). I mean I totally understand things happen but when his wife went into labor why didnt he leave a message for his people to call his patients?? I am so pissed!

So what did I do?? I went to a dinner with my family and ate like a starved pig!:wub: Now I feel terrible for eating like I did.:wub:

BTW new date FEB 20

sorry although for good news, I know you're disappointed.It will come again soon

I know in the grand scheme of things his family is most important, but geesh i was ready to be in BANDLAND!

Oh well Feb 20 will come soon enough

Sheesh...what a mind "F"!!! That would have rattled me. Don't get me wrong, it's all good for you doc, but they should have had a protocol for this situation!! I'm so sorry that happened and don't beat yourself up for going out to dinner. Thank goodness they rescheduled you for next week not next month!! Hang in there...you will do great!!

Warm hugs taismommy:huggie: I'm so sorry this happened to you. I would have been quite peeved too. I think someone should have called you earlier. It's a case of such mixed emotions . . . you want to be happy for the doctor, but after all the trouble you went through, only to get canceled! ouch. Hang in there hun, and please don't feel bad over your dinner. I think I would have needed to go and do something for myself too! I'm glad you're still with us here in the double V's . . . you're still ahead of me :thumbup: lol . . . my surgery is the 21st. We'll both be in bandland soon!

That would have totally pissed me off. Especially since I live so far away from the hospital. Oh well, on the bright side, at least you got one last good meal in AND you'll still be a Victorious Valentine! =)

I would have done that same thing, 'cept ate a whole friggin bloomin' onion. lol.

We will leave the gate to Bandland open for you.

I'm so sorry that this happened. I can't even imagine being called the morning of surgery and being told that it wasn't going to happen. I don't blame you for going out and taking your frustration out with food. I would have done the same thing probably.

Fortunately your new date is not too far off and you will have plenty of time to get back on track and make sure your liver is prepped well.

That AND you will still be a Double V!

Good Luck!

I would have cried. Just cried. And then ate. Good luck for the next date.

Wow, the 20th will be here sooner than you think. The dinner is a momentary lapse, just get right back on the liquids and you will be fine.

I want to thank everyone for responding to my post, it helped alot. I was so upset but it has passed thank goodness.

Now back to the clear LIQUIDS! YUMMY

Thanks again all
