Congrats on your date. I hope your time flies by for you too;just keep yourself busy as a bee and that will help. I will be on my 2 day liquid diet while I have to work Mon& Tue. so That will be fairly easy. I also plan on going to the gym and working out and getting to bed at a fairly early hour. All that to just pass the time. My parents are coming from Michigan to be with me for several days and to help out with things.Well good luck and keep positive.

Wow!! You should run to another doctor. True, they are the experts but as I see it, they are working for us. If anyone else did this to you, you probably wouldn't think twice about changing midstream. You were about to put 20K-30K in her pocket after being treated like %^*>. There are plenty of excellent doctors and if yours can't seem to get her scheduling in order, she needs new staff. You have truely been done wrong. I feel for you, that really sucks. Best of luck with the new doctor.

Topic: RE: So how have you prepared for your surgery?
Hi 
A few months ago I went around to the 2nd hand shops and bought myself 12 beautiful little glass plates 6 with painted flowers and 6 in the shape of leaves. ( I wanted to see something nice on my plates since there wouldn't be much food LOL). I got little drinking glasses and bowls that hold about 120mls/ 4oz , baby spoons and forks. I have also a few shot glasses to start drinking my water with as they will help me keep my sips small and a timer so even if I'm not thirsty I will know to drink. Little baby containers that hold 4oz so I can take soups/mushies to the shops if I'm out and can go in the microwave. Kitchen scales to weigh everything. Unflavoured protein powder and a surplus of Opitfast shakes. I have also started making meals and freezing them for my family for my stay in hospital and afterwards. Making soups for myself in 2oz portions and putting them in snaplock bags and freezing them. I know that I don't want to be making them afterwards for a little while atleast. I have dissolvable Panadol, Berocca, De-Gas and Floradix Floravital.
I'm sure that I will forget something or have over thought everything and have to much.
Best wishes to all

My time is Monday Feb, 1st and my grandson just left. He came and made sure to bring in some wood for the stove when I get back. I sent some of my stuff with him as I will be staying at my sons on Sunday.
The phone just rang as I set here writing this it was the hospital calling and I am to report at 5:15 am. I am getting excited. 
I started my liquid diet today and I hope these next 2 days fly by. I am thinking of how much healthier I should be after the healing and surgery.
Hoping that all the people having surgery have a quick recovery.
I am so thankful for all I have today. Be happy, Laugh often, Love Lots.

Went to Kettering hospital for my blood work (Pre Admission testing) AGAIN. On the way out I decided to go up to Dr. Anderson's office and guess what....they told me I had to be rescheduled again for the FORTH time. That's it I am totally fed up with Dr. Anderson and her staff.
AVOID HER and her Office Staff AT ALL COSTS!
What a joke, this is the most unorganized office I have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and see someone else.
I have decided to go with Dr. Schumacher. He's in the same network, so I might not have to start all over.
I plan to report Dr. Anderson and her staff to the BBB and whatever other organizations that may listen.
No one shoud go through this type of treatment.
I have heard some great things about Dr. Anderson, but I can't continue to go thru this agony.....
