UGH!!! My doctor postponed my surgery. Actually the surgery scheduler messed up and thought that even though he was going out of town the last 2 days of my hospital stay that it'd be ok. Nooooo. Anyway, my surgery date is now June 29 and I'll be at the Foundation Surgical Hospital in Houston. My dr is Richard Francis.Sonia

Hi Sonia,
Good luck with your surgery. It's hard to have a date set and then prepare for it and have it changed!!! Try and stay calm, everything happens for a reason. I know it's hard to do!!!
My surgery had a glich, it was scheduled for May 18th and May 24th, but things seemed to me like they were just fitting me in, I ended up in the Heart Ward of the hospital, because they had no ortho beds open at the time.
I would of rather waited so I would have been in the right part of the hospital where the nursing staff actually knew how to take care of me.

Sonia, looks like you'll be right behind ME now!!
I think I would scream if they postponed my surgery at this point. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to be put under so I can stop thinking about it!!
