My Fellow May Flowers.... HELP!!!

My dearest May Flowers,

I am so upset I could cry. My boss came into the office yesterday with a cold and although I tried to stay away from him, last night – I started coughing and my throat was sore. Today, I sound like I have a school of frogs in my throat. I called the nurse of the doctor who will be performing the lap-band procedure on me, and she said, “Oh, you sound awful! Take some Tylenol Cold and Flu and give us a call on Friday… You may not be well enough for the procedure….” Now, I don’t have to tell you guys how that just crushed me. I had to psyche myself up for my May 13th surgery date, and I was SO excited, now I may have to postpone it??? I prayed and asked for a sign if this surgery was the right thing for me. Is this a sign?? I’m trying not to be depressed, but it is really….really…hard right now.

Hello, I also had to cancel my May 5th surgery because of a cold, I had a bronchial infection and I was coughing for ever so I'm glad that I didn't do the surgery, but I am still depressed. I will talk with Nina to see when I can reschedule, but the finances are a little tight too, so that's hard when your self pay...but like someone said, everything happens for a reason and better safe than sorry. I will try again...All the best everyone...

you'll be fine. I had to put off my surgery by a month and I think it gave me more time to mentally prepare and now that it's done I couldn't be happier! sore but happy
