Surgery, Round 2
I will not be having surgery tomorrow. I decided, after all the misgivings I was having, coupled with the bad meeting with the anaethesiologist, I would reschedule. I do not want to go into surgery if I do not trust the people. I trust my doctor, but I did not trust the anaethesiologist. Most everyone I talked to urged me not to go ahead unless I was comfortable placing myself in their care. Not to mention, I also found out that our complex will be having a scheduled blackout right after I have surgery. That meant I couldn't have tea, hot soup, cold water, or a cold soda. I would be stumbling around in the dark, as our apartment is not very sunny. If it is at all cloudy, I will be lighting candles. That's how little daylight we get in here.
That week-end is also in the middle of school, which meant that someone (either my mom or Steven) would have to take time off to care for me. If Steven doesn't work, he does not make money. Steven's birthday is also on Saturday. He has told me a million times it didn't bother him, but it was an issue for me.
I will now be having surgery April 19th. at 11am. It will be during April vacation, so no one will need to take time off to care for me. I will be the only surgery in the OR that day, at all, so there will be no chance of latex contamination, as there would be if I was the last surgery of the day. I will not be stuck not eating for almost 20 hours. There's no chance of my surgery getting bumped back or postponed, since no one else will be operated on that day. I will have time to shake my nasty cold. Most importantly, I will have a different anaethesiologist. I also feel much better about this date. I do not have the bad feelings I had ever since I found out about the last date.
The list is still up, so if you want to be added, let me know.
Oh, and does anyone have Elvis's Burning Love? I have it stuck in my head so badly.
