Postponed!!

I went to see the doctor today for my pre-op appointment. As I was waiting in the lab for them to take blood and do whatever it is they do, the nurse called me over. She said the doctor's office had called and wanted me to come on up to the office first.

When I get to the office they tell me that the doc has had a family matter come up and that he will be out of town next week so I have to reschedule. I immediately start to cry. Not big fat tears but "I'm scared and want to get this part over with" tears. The nurse tells me we will schedule it for 10/2, just a week later. She gives me all sorts of info to read and then leaves me in the room to watch a video of an ACTUAL SURGERY! I couldn't watch much, I hate stuff like that. I don't need to know the size of incision they are going to make. I don't need to SEE how it is done, just do it!

When I was leaving another nurse tells me they won't be able to schedule me for 10/02 because the doctor is already booked. Again the tears. The doctor walked by and saw me crying so he stopped and put his arm around me. He said "We will get this done" or something like that, I was too upset to remember the exact words. About an hour later the nurse called to tell me that they did get it scheduled for 10/2. So there you have it... it will be 10/2, or so they tell me!

One good thing about the postponement.. the "Farewell To Food Tour - 2007" continues! And it will take me to the State Fair Of Texas, where even the Coke is fried! At least I can get one more corn dog in right?

In Brenna news, she's been sick for a week now. I can't even blame her runny nose on daycare because it started the day before she went for the first time! We are going to the doctor tomorrow to get her all checked out. I am sure there will be antibiotics in her future.

So sorry to read about your frustration! I'm excited to read about your journey and would love to be linked to the site you speak of with the others who have gone through this.

A fat mom myself, I can totally relate to you! My sister and I are blogging about our journeys too at sistersscalingdown.blogspot.com.
