Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Colleen, I really feel for you! How awful to be rescheduled at the last minute and to see something scary at the same time! As for your friend seeing hte day's events as a sign...you may need to tell her that you just don't need to hear that sort of thing. Or screen your phone calls. Twelve years ago, I had a biopsy on my breast. Most friends tried to say the right thing, but there were a couple...one asked me what I would do if it was cancer and suggested a radical course of actoin. Another told me that she had a very bad feeling about it, and her feelings usually mean something, so the news wasn't going to be good...really! So, until I had the results, I screened my phone calls. I just had to put myself and my needs first so I didn't lose my mind. Good luck to you. ceechica wrote: Hi everyone, I was to have surgery yesterday at 12:30 I was the last out of 4 of us scheduled for the day, my surgeons 2nd patient had complications, it was scary as I waited to be prepped for surgery my surgeon and his assistant came out in the lobby looking for the man's wife, then the ambulance came and they took him to the hospital, the admin said he was in stable condition, when they took him out he was as white as a ghost, I wonder if he's alright, I wonder if they'll let me know If I ask on Tuesday......one of my best friends say its a sign that I wasnt meant to have this sugery " ( I am rescheduled for Tuesday 7/18 at 6am, the clinics admin was really great thou, with compensation for yesterday, and they are going to put me up Monday night so I wont have to travel in the middle of the night and I'll be the first scheduled surgery for the day, now my fiancee won't be able to go with me " ( his job is so strict, my mother and hopefully my sister will see me in to make sure Im ok...Im so nervous now..I wasn't like this at all yesterday!!
