THEY CHANGED MY SURGERY DATE AND DID NOT TELL ME, NEW DATE AUG 23

FIRST OF ALL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO SENT ME ENCOURAGING MESSAGES, MY HUSBAND AND I LEFT SUNDAY EARLY EVENING TO GO TO CARMEL, 3 HOUR TRIP AND STAYED AT A HOTEL, I WAS SO EXCITED & ANXIOUS BUT PSYCHED TO START MY NEW LIFE!  WE ARRIVED AT THE ST. VINCENT'S HOSPITAL TO FIND OUT MY APPOINTMENT WAS RESCHEDULED FOR AUG 23. DR. INMAN'S SCHEDULING PERSON OVERLOOKED ME WHEN CANCELLING OUT DR. INMAN'S PATIENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BUT I TRUELY FEEL EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND SO I GUESS JULY 23RD WAS NOT MY DAY TO HAVE THE DS DONE, SO THE WAITING AND ANTICIPATION BEGINS AGAIN TILL AUGUST 23RD!!!!!!!!!!  REALLY NEEDS WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT NOW! -NICOLE (NICKA)

I KNOW YOUR PAIN. A LONG TIME AGO I HAD BEEN APPROVED FOR SURGERY AND THE VERY SAME DAY I GOT MY LETTER I ALSO GOT LET GO DUE TO DOWNSIZING. I WAITED 3 YEARS TO GET REAPPROVED AND NOW I AM LIVING HEALTHY  AND LOVING LIFE. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON YOU WILL BE FINE AND I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY THOUGHTS. VICKI

I'm sorry!! That stinks, but as you said everything happens for a reason!! Keep your head up!

Hi Nicole, I can't imagine how disappointed you must be having been prepared for your surgery and not getting it done - not to mention that you drove 6 hours (round trip).  Hang in there.  As you said, things happen for a reason, so maybe it wasn't the best time for you.  I see you are from Olney, Illinois.  I actually know quite a few people from the Olney, West Salem, and Sumner area.  I have been there and I actually saw a white squirrel or two.

how terrible...but perhaps for the better....even though that's hard to swallow...hang in there, your day is coming! :) hugs jen
