Beyond belief!

I cannot even believe what an emotional roller coaster I am on right now. I was scheduled for surgery this morning at 7am. First of all, thank you all so much for your posts of support, it was really overwhelming to read this morning when I got home. Your messages brought me to tears after my ordeal. I only slept for about an hr last night. Got up at 3:30 to be at the hospital at 5:30am. Got ready for surgery, they hooked me up to the IV, etc., spoke to the anesthesiologists etc. Everyone extremely nice. My surgeon came in at 7:00am to tell me that he got a call and had a family emergency, and I have to be rescheduled! I was 2 mins away from getting the sedation when this happened. Can't believe it. What a shocker to have to get up and get unhooked from all the IV, BP, heart monitors etc. and get dressed and leave! I can't even speak right now. Its taken me a few hrs to even check in here. I am really irritable from the clear liquids to top it off. The only thing is - I guess it wasn't meant to be today. I just hope I can be rescheduled SOON. I waited long enough for this day to come. *sigh* -Dee

Hello Dee I am so sorry this happened to you!!!!! I pray that you will be rescheduled ASAP!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((((((((((((dee)))))))))))))))))))))) thin wishes Tammy

Dee, Oh my!!! Wow...that is an emotional rollercoaster. Maybe somethings do happen for a reason. I hope you are rescheduled soon also...I'll be thinking of you. Janean

Oh Dee.... That is so terrible! I can't imagine how you must feel. I'm so sorry. I truly hope that you are rescheduled soon and that you are able to bounce back and realize that this is just a little blip in the grand scheme of things and that you'll soon be on the losing side! Hugs, Lisa Z

Dee, Wow - that is really upsetting! I couldn't imagine getting as far as you did and then not having the surgery. I can imagine you are wrung out now. It's a small thing - but at least you found out before they put you under sedation. I hope that you get another date soon! Mary

Dee Things happen for a reason. Hopefully they can re-schedule soon. Keep us posted. I'll keep you in my prayers. Love Mery

Dee, OMG....~hugs you tight~ I am sooooo very sorry hun, I know you must be so upset. I am sorry that it happened like this! I try to always think that what happened if you were under and this happened, either you would have been woken up with not having it done or maybe he would have rushed through it....so I know you believe that things happen for a reason but I know it is very upsetting also.... Hang in there hun and you will have it done soon, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. If you need to vent or just talk email me and I will give you my numbers. Take care ~hugs you~ Debra P

Hi Dee, Oh do I know how you feel! I was first scheduled for June 13th and I was actually put to sleep in the OR, and upon a failed intubation, I was awakened to find out that I didn't have the surgery and that it would have to be rescheduled two weeks later. I certainly understand your disappointment. At first I was mad and very sad that I had not had it done. But, believe me everything happens for a reason. I was not meant to be on that table that day, and you probably weren't today either. Take advantage of this little extra time before your surgery to do some fun stuff. I took naps, had lunch with some friends and really relaxed during that two weeks. It turned out to be a blessing. I waited 10 months for this surgery date. When I went to sleep it was like Christmas Eve and when they woke me up it was like it was December 10th and Christmas didn't come. Sweety, you will get your date soon, and you will do great. Keep your chin up, and if you want to talk send me an email. I DO understand the emotional rollercoster you are on. God bless, Deb

I am so sorry to hear what happened. I guess it just wasnt meant to be that day that the surgeon had a family emergency. THEY do happen, sorry it was for you. I would imagine you will be given a prioirty for your rescheduling! HOPE its real soon. I had to move my surgery out one week because no one was free, when for months i asked people to be avialable in MAY, to watch my kids will i was in the hospitol. I hated to change the date but had too...... GOOD LUCK and cant wait to hear about your new surger date. LISA
