a very weird week

We were planning to go to Sherwood Park this weekend, but may have to stay home because Jacob is quite sick. Anyway...surgeons usually like to meet their patients prior to surgery. So I thought I would see if he would like to meet me while I am in Edmonton. Dr. Akhtar's office gave me the number to reach the office of Dr. Ross, my surgeon.

I called and had a nice chat with the secretary, who happens to book all the surgeries. Dr. Ross is scheduled in the OR for the next 2 weeks, so it wouldn't have worked out to meet with him. I asked her if my surgery had been booked yet. She said no, but it would probably be in June or July. She then asked if that was ok with me. Huh???! I didn't think I had a say in when I would like to have surgery! I explained to her that the sooner the better because we want to have another baby. She said that usually out of town patients can't come in last minute, but would I be able to? I said definitely. She said that would help me to get in quicker. Yay!!

She said that she was checking to see if there were any cancellations...and  said she had an opening on April 9!! What??!!?? Wow. That's soon. She had to call others that have been on the waiting list longer, but if they couldn't take the date, then she would call me back before the end of the day Wednesday. It was Monday, and Wednesday couldn't come quick enough!!! She never did call, so another lucky patient got the spot. My nerves were frazzled for those couple of days and everytime the phone rang my nerves would tingle from my head down to my toes!!

Hopefully another date will come up soon...
