Tomorrow is the big day! I’m strangely calm about the procedure, which I’m sure is in part to all of the information provided by this site as well as the medical team.

I’ve set some initial small goals.

1. Wake up from surgery :)

2. Get breathing tube out.

3. Get drainage tubes out.

4. Put on underwear so I begin to feel human.

ThatS as far as I’ve gotten so far, after I meet those goals I’ll add some new ones :).

Today I got a call that my surgery needs to be rescheduled, the surgeon has a conflict. I’m having a tough time not being frustrated. As a family we have organized our work / family lives around this date. As a small business owner, I’ve moved out 1 month of business, and now will have to move more, but I don’t have a new date yet. Argh.

Deena Z You bet it is frustrating. This happens more often than you think. Maybe the difference will only be a few days and not weeks. As long as you have a great surgeon, that’s what counts.

J Alexander Lassally I was also a sbo and had to scrap all aspects when surgery arrived. It happens... If they are a good surgeon it is worth it.

Ana Brusso So sorry Scott, my surgery was also postponed but I didn’t have to move too much around like you. You will figure it out and you will get your new date and everything is going to work out great. God bless you 🙏❤️

Darrell Malone That's too bad Scott. Just take it in stride. It all will work out.
