I see that you are in Halifax. I would think your post in the MAINE forum would in error, and should be re-posted in the forum for your location? And that doesn't appear to be a valid YOUTUBE account...I think it's wise not to click this link...

Topic: RE: One month to go....

Well, I certainly don't want to speak for the surgeon's office (and no one else should either.) Just remember, it's more important to be healthy and strong when you go to surgery, than it is to get in there on any particular schedule.

That being said, my feeling is that you should call your surgeon's office (since you will have the same surgeon as me, we know they are easy to work with...strict...but easy to work with...) and talk to her staff. They are reasonable, and if they feel it's safe to go ahead, I'm sure they will. If they feel it's best to postpone a week or two, well, then that's really for the best, isn't it?

One great thing about Dr. Toder...she's no-nonsense. Her decisions are in YOUR best medical interest (which also happens to be in her best interest...) That's a great thing. Mutual teamwork.

Did you happen to do that today, by chance (just now, noticing you posted at 9:30 this morning!)

Topic: One month to go....

Good news and bad news...So the good news is I am soooo excited! One month from now I will be on the loser's bench! WOO HOO! I can't believe its almost here! The bad news is I went to the ER today after three days of feeling horrible and thinking it was allergies and I have pneumonia and a middle ear infection! They prescribed Augmentin (which is an antibiotic) and prednisone (steriod). I am so scared this will force my surgery to be rescheduled! Any one have anything like this happen to them? Some Surgeons won't schedule a surgery until you have been off of antibiotics for a month and others don't seem to make a big issue out of it. ugh!

Thank-you! Still workin' it!!!

Hope all is going great with you! Didn't get to the gym this weekend (last time on Friday), but, I got some yardwork done this weekend, and some stuff taken out of the attic to Goodwill, so, I feel good about that!!!

Congratulations on your 2 year surgi-versary. It is amazing that we can live and eat like normal people now.
I had to chuckle at the toilet seat comment- been there, not any more !
