My surgery got postponed!

Marcia,

I'm so sorry that your surgery was delayed.  But you are on for Friday and I'll keep you in my prayers that all goes well for you!

Keep the faith!  You CAN do this!!

Thank you for your kind words Kelly Jo.  My angel Sue will let you guys know if things went as scheduled Friday.  Marcia

Well that sucks!  

So much for co-miserating, now here's the pep talk... It's just a speedbump, girl.  Move right on past it.  Friday will be here in like no time and the more you can lose before surgery, the better everything after will be anyways.  (Yeah, I know, sounds like blah blah blah when you've had it up to here with drinking broth!)  Just sleep alot, that's what I did.  Getting caught up on rest can only be a help and it will make the time go quicker.     

That's awful:(  It definitely must have been a shock for you, but friday will be here soon!  Good for sticking up for yourself and not waiting 3 weeks!  I hope everything goes as planned from here...good luck!

Peace,

Jessica

Thanks Jessica for the well wishes!  Thank God I don't have to wait 3 weeks!

Thanks Karen!  You're right, Friday really will be here quick and I do need some rest.  I'm fighting a cold.  Since my husband already took the time off, I'll be able to take a nap, something I NEVER get to do because I have 4 kids.  The youngest ones are 4 and 1 and hardly let me even sit down during the day!

OMG, I keep posting under the wrong person! lol  Your message is under Jessica's.  Marcia

oh my god... i think you handled that really gracefully.  i'm glad you stood up for yourself - i know you had to - but it's ridiculous to think we can just rearrange our whole lives around something this big at the drop of a hat, we are people with jobs and families and so forth.  i'm glad it's Friday.  I can't imagine getting that close and having to go home.  I'm so sorry you had to go through all this! Sending you good strong happy thoughts for smooth running tomorrow!

Thanks Elena.   I'm first on the schedule Friday morning so hopefully there will be no delays.  Not looking forward to just liquids again tomorrow, but maybe I'll drop another pound or two!

Oh Marcia!!!

I'm so sorry to hear this!!!

I would be so upset but you're right...there IS a reason for everything! We don't always know that reason until we get through the fire though.

I think things will go just fine for you on Friday.

When I read these posts, I start from the bottom and work my way up. I had already posted that I was thinking of you during your surgery today.

Let's think of positive things about not having surgery today....

You can go for a long walk

You can take your before surgery measurements (ankle to neck)

You can have someone take more before pictures of you

You can cook some healthy foods you enjoy, puree them and freeze them in ice cube trays (each cube is 1 oz) for when you're ready for them post-op

You can start a journal

You can view the You Tube video that Romeo suggested earlier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GePUJa5Mg84

You can spend another non-post-op day to spend with your beautiful family

God Bless!
