No Surgery Tuesday

After all the anticipation and build up, my surgery was cancelled Tuesday morning.  I literally had no sleep the night before.  I got out of bed at 4 a.m. though with purpose and got in the shower.  When I got out, I got my phone to call my parents and make sure they were up, only to find a voicemail from the surgical center telling me a water main break was forcing them to cancel all the surgeries.  At first I was shocked.  I think I may have even pinched myself once or twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming.  But once the truth set in, I realized the seemingly impossible had happened.  Yes, I cried for a while.  So instead of finally breaking up with my troublesome gallbladder, I said goodbye to my parents and went to work.  I feel bad knowing they drove here Monday night after their long days at work, slept in and not to mention PAID FOR, a night in a hotel, only to go home the next morning after having sleepless nights themselves.

Despite this set back, the surgeons office did a good job of rescheduling me and now my new surgery date is April 18.  It's two weeks to wait and have to deal with my gallbladder issues, but I'm trying to keep the pesky bugger at bay.  I'm doing my best to stay away from high fat foods and I'm continuing to walk with my friend Amy Jo when weather permits.
