I was due to have surgery tomorrow morning at 9:00~ I just got in from getting my last minute supplies when the phone rang. It was the P.A at my surgeons office. As sweet as she is- I started to cry my eyes out when she told me that they have to postpone until next week. I am so sad and depressed right now. I have been on ALL liquids for 2 long days and I LITERALLY just took my Milk of Magnesia seconds before she called!!!!! I feel ABSOLUTELY SICK about this- I have waited SO long and then once again....I got knocked down~ Christine

Ok I know this probably won't help...but you HAVE to believe that God has a bigger reason for you to NOT be in surgery tomorrow. It isn't your day and please think positive! It just got postponed until next week it didn't get cancelled. I know it is very depressing and hurts like hell right now and I am so sorry for that. It WILL happen when it is truly MEANT to! If you need to chat I'm here for you! hugssssssssssssssssssssssss christine!!! krista

Hang in there Christine, next week will be here before you know it. I know it's hard once you get yourself mentally prepared for something and then the let down sucks but at least it's only a week away. Keep your chin up and remember that we are all here if you need us. Patty

Frustrating I know, but there is a reason for everything. You're day will come. Maggie

Christine First of all, please let me tell you that it is going to be okay. I had the same phone call about two weeks ago. My doctor got sick and had to cancel surgery on my day and I found out like 5:00 the night before. AGAIN, LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN - you are going to be okay. Tonight is going to suck and so is tomorrow actually. After I cried for two days because I had to wait THREE WHOLE weeks to have the surgery again, I realized that everything happens for a reason - truly and the time until your next date is going to fly by. I couldn't imagine having to wait three weeks - the day I found out, I thought waiting three weeks was unfathomably. BUT, I am here to say, they flew by. I have 6 more days. Also, ever since I found out my original date, I freaked from the moment I found out until I found out it had been postponed. I was a nervous wreck - I had never been put under before or been to the hospital for any procedure and the more people told me I was going to be okay, the more I freaked. It wasn't like I was having gall bladder surgery and my life was going back to normal after I had recovered - this was a life changing surgery. So, anyway once I had calmed down I had realized that I just needed to keep myself busy these next couple of weeks. Well, not only did the time fly and I will be having surgery next week, I actually enjoyed my weeks. I didn't freak out, that freakness went away and I actually enjoyed the last days of my unhealthy life. Sounds like you will be having it soon, so take a breath, mourn for like five minutes and go about your business because YOUR TIME WILL COME before you know it. I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason! xoxo, Phyllis
