:bath: UPDATE ... I Need A Relaxation Plan!
Thank you everyone *****sponded to my 'fit' but especially to Marc
Well, I think I have settled down a little compared to Monday night.
Now see if my hubby would just learn to let me get my rantings and ravings out I would probably not get even more worked up. He can really fuel me sometimes.
I called down to ATL this morning and talked to the Surgery Coordinator/Scheduler (if anyone knows Ann) and she is FANTASTIC!
The FIRST person I have dealt with on staff there (other than Dr Smith) that seems to really care and be compassionate.
Now that I am a bit more 'settled" I can fill in what all has happened beginning Monday morning until where we are right now.
I first talked to Ann Monday morning, she said at that time Sonya hadn't even forwarded my chart to her to schedule, that Sonya was off (Monday) and for me to call her (Ann) back this morning to see what she had. That is a little of what got me going Monday night because Sonya was the one who called, apparently they called her (Sonya) in to schedule me (suppose that is part of why the date was SO far from now). And anyone who has followed what I am going through KNOWS Sonya and I have a MAJOR personality conflict to begin with, which I can't understand, I have never DONE or SAID anything to start this. I just really have ONE goal, to fix the failed VBG and get healthy. I'd kinda like to live a few more years, see my kids graduate, get married, have grandkids, you know, typical things. But from Day 1 Sonya and I have butted heads.
But I digress, as I mentioned, it threw us when Sonya called later Monday night (almost 6PM) with this September 12th date. I tried to reach Ann yesterday but apparently she was off. This morning when I did get Ann from what she told me Dr Smith is supposed to be going out of town again (man does he EVER stay in Georgia more than three weeks?) but she said that she was amazed when she came in this morning and had an email stating that Sonya had scheduled my surgery for Sept 12th. She (Ann) knew that this was not really the best for my health with how sick I have become and that she (Ann) was confused WHY Sonya scheduled it SO FAR out.
With her looking over it agrees that I need in sooner so she is spending today looking over Dr Smith's schedule and seeing what she can do to get me in before the now set date of 9/12. Even though I know that I MAY not get in before the 12th I think I am going to remove one obstacle and NOT repack my bag right now ... LOL ... that is one less thing for me to digress into a 'hissy fit' with if I don't have it sitting there waiting for my date to get here.
So as it stands now Ann wants me to call her tomorrow morning first thing and she will let us know if she can get us in sooner. Cross your fingers, pray, whatever works best that she can find a spot for me before Sept. 12th. I will be on tomorrow to update. In the mean time between now and then I have all ready started getting things printed out to work on for Christmas gifts (you can't tell I'm a wee bit OCD can you, LOL) so that once we get done and I am recuperating I have things that will keep me busy.
Until tomorrow -- Huggs -- Lisa
