surgery thursday!!!

i went for preops were Friday all went well except for my psych evaluation.  i drove 4 hrs to the city
where i am going to have my surgery. did all pre-op test then went to psych apt. but office was closed. went home and on answering machine had message from the office. it said not to come because they would be closed because of the weather. now what? my surgery is Thursday i cant drive back again for that apt. then go back on Thursday for surgery. maybe they will let me call it in.

Oh Mary, I hope they don't postpone you.  The psych evaluation is typically a "big deal."  That really stinks that they didn't call you in time to let you know.  I'd be giving someone an earful.

Good luck.  I hope it works out and you have your surgery on Thursday.

Seems to me that it's their fault and they shouldn't penalize you but who knows.  Hope you can squeeze it in in time for your surgery.

All of my pre-op tests, including my psych evaluation, had to be completed before my date was set. It stinks that you now have such a short window of time to get it in. Mine was a long "fill in the circle" type test that he just gave me to sit in a little room and answer the questions. He said it would take a couple of days to have mechanically scored (like the old year end tests from school) and then another day or so to get his evaluation (incuding our initial consult) to the doctor. Maybe yours is a shorter natured test. I sure hope this doesn't cause your surgery to be postponed. We'll be praying for you. But even if worse comes to worst, it's just temporary and I believe everything happens for a reason.
Hang in there and try to stay positive!

good luck on this deal. the psych thing is a big deal because the surgery really messes with you because of the release of hormones.  even if they postpone it, which i hope they don't have to, it really is for your own good. hang in there. vick
