Surgery just got postponed until (hopefully ) Monday 10/7. I'm currently at Mt. Sinai for pre-surgery testing & for some unknown reason my liver enzyme levels have spiked dramatically .

My liver enzymes went up from from Tylenol given in hospital. I hope they find why soon and you get your surgery.

Gosh dang it I'm so sorry! Could this get any more nerve wracking? I'm so sorry you are having this blip. Holding the faith it all gets sorted soon.
