Today Was a Bummer!
Nov 26, 2007
My surgery was cancelled! I waited all day in the surgery prep room with IV's flowing ,had already seen the anesthesiologist and after 4 hours my surgeon comes in and tells me he can't do my surgery because his surgical assistant became ill and he couldn't operate without one. I first thought he was kidding--but he was as serious as he could be. I was and am still in shock! The nurse unhooked my IV and I got dressed and left. I think I am still in shock. After 2 days of liquids and an ALL night of Bowel Prep and what happens--Nothing! I was so ready and now I have to get psyched all over again. Dr Shina really felt bad but I know he couldn't to the surgery without the assistant. He said he will do everything possible to get me scheduled ASAP.
