Flooding/Surgeries Cancelled

Shelber, Im sorry to hear about your surgery cancelled again. :(  That is Im sure very frustrating. Chin up! I know I was excited to have mine done to start my "new life".  Hang in there.

I missed this posted added onto the older post!!!
Thats why I try and add new threads so nothing gets missed!

I have been wondering about you, wondered if you got the surgery, if you were flown to a different hospital to heal, wondered if you had to find your own way back, wondered how the helio ride was, been wondering a lot!!

I am sorry this all has happened, Keep on a positive note and ask for a discount LOL

Keep us posted!

Still no surgery.  Just sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring and obsessively watching the news and MeritCare's website for any news that they are back in full operation.  I am grateful that my surgery was canceled as that ended up being the day they evacuated.  I feel like I have lost my focus.  I had been on Optifast for 6 weeks.  I went off of it over the weekend as I just lost my drive from the stress of the setback.  I ate carefully but didn't have the shakes.  Am back on them today in case I could get rescheduled again soon.  I tend to focus on one thing at a time.  It seemed my whole life had been focused on taking weight off and preparing for this surgery.  Since my surgery got cancelled I feel like I have been just wandering around the house wondering what to do with myself.  The weather doesn't help. 

It will happen as soon as the roads are clear! I called merit care today just to ask a question about support group and the lady answering the phones told me staff should/shall be back on Thursday. If that is an indicator of when you can start thinking about when the calls will start coming in to reschedule surgeries. Wishing you the best while you wait. Now you have time to take and write down all your measurements from neck to ankles so you can keep track while on your journey.  Organize some of your bigger pictures so you can start a photo book of your journey. Those couple of things you will find valuable later down the road. Don't be sorry later that you didn't do it.
