Surgery canceled

Surgery canceled for Amanda Adele George, not Scott Lane, whoever that is. It says I am them. Hi all of you good people. It is showing me logged in as Scott Lane, but that isn't me! I am Amanda Adele George. I don't understand why it is saying I am Scott Lane. WEIRD!!! I was scheduled to have surgery on August 30th. I was told to be there at 5:30am. I called all day Monday to make sure I was supposed to still show up and they kept saying yes, and they said that administration had met at 5:30pm and said all surgeries were a GO. Welp, I was skeptical but I knew I needed to show up in case the surgeon was waiting on me. My mother and I left home at 4am dodging power lines, trees, and parked cars all over the highways. After arriving, we waited and waited and they, "administration", finally let me know like 45 minutes to an hour later that all surgeries had been canceled. I was not dissapppointed and I expected it to be canceled, but like I said, I didn't want to stand my surgeon up, I had came to far to throw it all away. In my opinion they should have canceled iall elective surgeries the afternoon before. I wasn't mad at all, just worried about what my next step was on how to at until a decison was made. For those of you that don't know, I live in Vicksburg, MS, and we just got a taste of the hurricane which wiped out all power, threw trees everywhere, power lines were all in the roads, it was the worst I have ever seen this town. Finally I got ahold of someone who told me to go ahead and eat and that I would be informed later about what would happen next. I was then told the next day that my new surgery date was a week from that date, which now puts me at September 6th. Same time-5:30am, I am not a morning person, but I sure as heck hope Dr. Cleveland is, lol. Honestly, I got unfocused about the surgery after the hurricane. It was horrific, and I feel so bad for everyone affected by the hurricane. It is so overwhelming that it kind of made my situation not seem so important at the time. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited about having surgery, I just got detoured. I am starting to read the message boards again, reading my information books, and talking to fellow bariatric patients, so I am getting back pepped up. I know everything happens for a reason, and God changed my date for a reason. There are too many bigger things going on in this world right now to get upset about a date change. Some people might have been PO'ed, but the only thing I am PO'ed about is having to drink that phospha soda twice, how horrible is that, huh? Everything should be all GO Tuesday. I still don't have power at my home so I am staying at my mother's and finally got a chance to sit down and inform all. Thanks for listening and this time I hope to become a loser. Amanda

I know what you mean about the hurricane dislocatinh your senses. (I live in Pensacola, which got Ivan last year & Dennis this year) It's like time out of time. None of the normal stuff is important anymore. But man, I don't know that I could be as forgiving as you for making me get my @$$ out of bed at that hour for nothing. Even if I forgave them LATER, I'd have been ticked off in the moment. Good luck with Take 2. And my surgery's at 7:30 in the morning (not tomorow), and I often receive emails from him at 11pm & 12 midnight, so I know what you mean about hoping the guy's a morning person *lol* --BT
