So my wife and I were out at a restaurant today for lunch with our two young sons (2 and 4). My 4 year old and I go to the men's room, and when we get back to the table, my wife tells me my cell phone rang.
Turns out I have a voicemail from the scheduler at my surgery clinic. I'm scheduled to get banded on 12/12, but apparently my surgeon has had something come up, so they wanted me to reschedule. So I immediately called back, and got the scheduler's voicemail, which says that she only has working hours up until 2:30. Of course, by my clock, it's 2:29.
You know, I realize that it's not necessarily her fault, but I'm a little miffed that she called me to reschedule my surgery and didn't wait around five minutes to see if I called back. I mean, I understand it's a holiday weekend and she wanted to get out of the office. But now I have to wait until Monday to reschedule my surgery, and it's also a PITA because my mother-in-law was taking off work to come watch our boys that day.
As if I wasn't already anxious enough about this surgery! GRRR!
