Today's surgery canceled?!

I am so frustrated beyond belief.. I got a call this morning saying I had to be bumped up an hour and didn't need to be there until 1:45pm.. OK I figured.. It was meant to be, I can take care of things around the house, even though I was already starvinggg:( I planned to leave at 12:15, it's a bit of a ride.. At noon my phone rang, and I though uhh ohh.. What is going on?! My surgeon had to cancel.. He wouldn't have enough time to get me in:( This is all so wonderful I thought.. They called last Wednesday and moved me up from this wednesday to today (Monday).. I was so stressed, I wouldn't be able to get in any time at work, my husband had to change his days off, as well as my Mom and sister.. Well, as it turns out, it all fell into place, everyone got their time off changed.. I though "wow, this is really meant to be, I will be ok, plus it's better- I get to go in 2 days earlier"..

Sooo.. fast forward to today... My husband is battling with his boss to get wednesday off, of course because he took today and tomorrow off already.. My Mom can't take it off, and now my older sister is going to try to be there.. I feel like I'm in a whirl wind:( Anyhoo, enough complaining, I just had to get it out.. Thanks for reading..

Have they rescheduled you for Wednesday? Did they give a reason why the surgeon couldn't fit you in? That has to be extremely frustrating! I know I wouldn't be happy at all and would be demanding some answers especially when it is inconveniencing my entire family.

Hope things work out okay for you.

Wow, that sucks. Me, I am a crazy bitch, I would have gone down there, because I was scheduled and those around me sacrificed their time and had it approved. I wouldn't go through surgery alone some other day and I would demand they work around my schedule.

I am crazy like that, because I hate being inconvenienced because of someone else.

Good luck and hang in there. I hope you will have your family with you.:biggrin:

Thanks guys for the support!:biggrin: I am doing a little better right now.. I have always been a firm believer that everything, no matter how crappy, happens for a reason. It just really upset me because my original date was for the 19th anyway, I wish they could have just left it that way! They told me last week when they moved me up that my surgeon was losing his Wednesday OR hours, and had to move me up.. I'm thinking that he got wayy overbooked?

Either way, I feel bad for everyone wasting their day off for nothing..

I better get me in Wednesday.. If not, there will be hell to pay.. This hospital really needs to get their crap together! I am surely going to put in a complaint.. This hasn't been the only issue:(

Thanks again for reading, and letting me vent!!
