Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 NH - That is so-o-o frustrating. So sorry for you. Perhaps a reason will show itself that this is a better plan for you, after all. Relax, relate, release. -hugs, Marty ...Dr. Rand had an emergancy > and they have to reschedule my surgery..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi : Just want you to know that I can sympathize with you, when it comes to having revision surgery re-scheduled so close to the date. Mentally, physically, emotionally getting yourself ready, and everyone around you focusing on the date with you is such a build- up. I had a revision surgery scheduled two years ago in Chicago, and it was cancelled 2 days before, however, not for an " emergency " , such as in your case, which is understandable. At least you can accept that as an unfortunate but forgiveable event. (Mine was cancelled due to the doctor not being prepared with the films he decided that he needed, last minute (calling me on a Sat. and saying he'd like an MRI, too, and that would have to be done first, and the surgery cancelled for Monday and rescheduled a few weeks later). I do know, however, that whatever the reason, it's extremely disappointing and difficult to re-adjust, and to rearrange everything, tell everyone, etc. I'm so sorry, and hope that the two weeks go by quickly for you, and that in the long run, you might see that this was all meant to be for some reason! I do believe in fate! You have my shoulder-hang in there! Martha > > Hi All.....

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Oh , So sorry to hear about your delay. What an unavoidable disappointment! Obviously an emergency is something beyond Dr. Rand's control and Hillary does have a huge job in rescheduling everything. You deserve your cry, but you are right in letting your insurance, work and others know of the delay. Once you've done all that, go out and pamper yourself in some way, like getting a pedicure or reading a good book, etc. Some sort of treat that you don't usually allow yourself very often. If you keep yourself busy, then the two weeks will fly by and you will wonder why you were so upset/disappointed in the beginning. You have the right attitude in viewing it as only a two-week delay and not longer. I'm sure that Dr. Rand won't let you wait any more than you have to for your 2nd stage, and then you will be fast on the road to recover. Keep up the good attitude, as that you help you, also, in your recovery.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 , MH Oh, so sorry you had to go through this. Have a pity party today. You're entitled. Then give yourself two weeks to relax, get pampered, sleep late, read a good book and just plain indulge. It'll be all right in the end. :-) Bonnie [ ] TALK ABOUT TEARS..... Hi All.....

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 - I'm so sorry to hear of your surgery being rescheduled. Please do something nice for yourself - a hot fudge sundae or banana split - go out to dinner and a funny movie. Cry on our shoulders anytime.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 , my thoughts are with you. Something like this would delay my surgery for a year because of child care. I can't imagine this happening. I am sure you will be revised and improved before you know it. I hope everything is OK with Dr. Rand as well. Jolynn > > Hi All.....

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 NH, I am so sorry you have to deal with a reschedule. I can not imagine how hard it must be to be all ready to go and have to scramble to rearrange...mentally and logistically. I know you are strong and I know that stuff seems to happen for a reason, so after you have a good cry, and maybe even a good rant, try to get back to a centered state and know it all happens in it's own good time. Will you just go on working or will you take extra time off? Please let us know as soon as you get all rearranged. At least you will have some extra days to listen to the Successful Surgery CD...who knows...the extra messages of good healing nmight make all the difference! Take Llweyns advice and give yourself a good pamper this week/end. Take Care, Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
