Dear Tari~~I am so very sorry that you had this disappointment, inconvenience for you, your parents, and your friend. In 1995 I was in the hospital, on a gurney fully processed awaiting the surgeon so my neck surgery could start. My surgery was cancelled because the head of the department "bounced" my surgeon. What a royal pain but it was nothing compared to this for you. Too bad you can't get the CEO,CFO,COO,etc. to take the bowel prep with you next time. Just to let you know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers so that you may keep your resolve strong, be rescheduled quickly, and have an uneventful surgery and a rapid recovery. May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. Be well.Lorraine
