Got the call last Friday 5/13 got my surgical date which will be 8/18. I was excited to know that there was hard plan to wrap my head around and preparation deadlines for things here at home. Saturday the Hubs and I spent most of the day cleaning out our much neglected basement. Sunday morning woke up with horrible abdominal pain and after trip to ER ended up in hospital with diverticulitis. I am home now 5 days later and recovering from that. When it rains it pours. Called back MSHS yesterday to confirm itinerary since diverticulitis got in the way. To my surprise they were able to move me to July 21st. This works out so much better for us since July is a slow farm month. No calving, no crops to worry about yet. Makes me feel relieved. Tried to schedule pre-op test here locally with very little cooperation and no success. Guess I’ll have to go up an extra early to have them all done there
