You won't believe this one!
Hi Everyone - well, I'm in Boston. At 5:30 a.m. I arrived at Brigham & Women's for my 7:30 revision surgery. I'm moving along in the process - at about 6:30 I'm speaking with the anestesiologist (sp?) and she urgently gets called away. We were about 5 minutes away from starting an IV. My surgeon called in sick! My jaw just dropped to the ground! I couldn't believe it!
All kinds of thoughts ran through my head - especailly about the extra cost and inconvenience this is - not to mention, when would I get to have my surgery! However, Dr. Lautz has an excellent assistant, Eileen, and she got me another surgery appointment for tomorrow morning at 5:30. Hopefully, Dr. Lautz will be feeling much better by then. Apparently he has a stiff neck and shoulder - and I certainly want him to be totally mobile while he is operating on me!
PLEASE - keep HIM in your prayers tonight! I don't want to hear the same thing again tomorrow morning! :)
Thanks to all of you - God Bless.
