YIKES...Surgery is scheduled for 10/31

I am in a state of shock. Yesterday I spoke with the schedule coordinator for my surgeon and he informed me that they had to postpone my date as surgeon was traveling with family. The other days proposed did not work because of scheduling issues with my fellow employees vacation dates. I was dissapointed because it then became apparent that surgery would have to wait untile sometime in February. I must admit I got upset, but was calm enough to realize that any anger I had would bee misdirected at the poor scheduler. I asked that they see if there were any other options. Went to bed thinking that it was not meant to be. This am I stayed home with DD who has a fever and sore throat and home phone rings. It is the same scheduler asking me if I could do this on Halloween! Two weeks from today! I immediately responded yes. Then an hour later had 2nd thoughts. My girls will have their first halloween with out me. Who will dress them ( they are 9 & 12 and quite able but still), will they be traumatized. When my oldest came home today and I told her she replied.."Of course you have to do it. We will be fine. I'll help with everything!" SHe is so excited for me. So off i go. Maybe I should wear a silly nose to alleviate anxiety on the day of surgery. Sorry to go on but I am in shock!!

go for the nose and very good luck with the surgery!!!! hugs, jacki (and your girls will be fine)

Hey Mary! Your girls will be fine! And so will you! There will be many more Halloweens. Go for the surgery! Wishing you the best of luck on your new journey! Cathy
