2 cancelations and lots of frustration

Hello,

Just having a moment of venting here.... I had my surgery scheduled for Dec 20th and it was later canceled. At least it was canceled before I started Opti. It was difficult to hear of the cancelation without a new date in place of it. 

Then I was given the date of January 15. I was directed to do 19 days of Opti and then 2 days of just clear liquids. On January 13, I was called and my surgery was canceled. Are you kidding me?!?! It isn't the hospitals fault though. There was a flood that closed all of the operating rooms. At this point, only 4 of the 12 of them were open. 

I'm worried that all of the work that I did with Opti will not be recognized during the surgery. I am on a low fat diet until I hear more from the hospital. 

So...is the third time the charm??

Thanks everyone! I haven't heard anything yet, I will likely call on Monday to see if there is an update. I'm sure they are overwhelmed with questions and calls.
