Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 !!! Halloween is MY Birthday, I say it's an omen that I should be so honored to have you have the surgery then! LOL! If you were born on Friday the 13th, I was born on Halloween, I say THAT is the sign! Hey, after all, look at the bright side...when I come to visit, I can dress up in a crazy outfit, and nobody would care if I slipped in to see you right? I'd just tell them it's a surprise to show you for Halloween! Don't worry about work. I did that for much too long, now to be perfectly honest with you, I could care less about them, I need to focus on me for once! On another note, Halloween isn't a " spooky time of year " , that's just what people made it. Witches are GOOD people, and they don't fly on brooms! I have 2 friends who are witches, and at first it was a bit scary, but once I learned more about it, they are 2 of the nicest most considerate people I've ever known! Good luck sweetie, and again, CONGRATS!!!!!! Dawn I HAVE A DATE!!!!! Well everyone, I went to my PCP for medical clearance. I passed everything and she gave me the medical clearance I need for surgery. After that, I called Adrienne at Dr. Forse's office to let her know that I got medical clearance, and she gave me a surgery date of (drum roll please!!) October 31st!! Do you think it is a bad omen that it is Halloween??? I was a little skeptical about that date, but hey, I was born on Friday the 13th during a full moon solar eclipse at 1:01 in the afternoon. I wonder if this was meant to be?? I called my sister up in tears about it being Halloween, but she said that it can't get any worse than my birthday!! What do you all think?? Needless to say, I am a wreck right now. I just told my boss about the date, and it went well, she told me not to worry about it, but I can't help feeling guilty, like I am abandoning my team here and leaving her all alone. We had another girl quit a few weeks ago, and her position has not been filled yet. There are only 3 of us on the team, so I am feeling a little guitly about leaving her. She doesn't know what I am doing, just that I have to have the surgery and it is something personal. She is respecting my wishes about not telling her, but if she ever finds out that I scheduled this type of surgery during such a critical time at work, I don't think that would go over so well. I am jumping on this surgery date though, because I have been in and out of Boston so much with this, that she thinks that my medical issues are something serious (which they are, to me) and I don't want to wait too long. Besides, all my major projects are out of the way, so now is actually the best time work load wise. It seems they will have to hire a temp at least for 2 weeks while I am out as the only other support person here is taking a 2 week vacation over thanksgiving, and although I believe I may be back by then, they are not taking any chances. I have a sit down job, so I think I will be back I know that I am rambling, but I am excited, anxious, nervous, scared, petrified, all rolled into one. I have a lot to do in the next 4 weeks. Any advice on how to prepare my home and life for all this??? Thanks for listening again Dr. R. Armour Forse Boston Medical Center 10/31/00 A new me is on the way!!!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 , You were not rambling, and I think whether we are preop or postop, we can all understand the feelings of " excited, anxious, nervous, scared, petrified, all rolled into one " . As a preop, myself, and having my date, I identify with all those feelings. You talk about how you feel all you want. That is what we are here for. As far as the Halloween date is concerned, it wouldn't bother me, but I think that is an individual thing whether you are superstitious or not. If it bothers you a whole lot, I am sure it can be changed to approximately around that time. As far as what your boss might think if she knew the exact surgery to be performed - yes, it is elective, however, I look at it as life saving down the road, and who is to say how long that road might be without the surgery. You are improving your health (whether you have problems now or would in the future), then you are improving your outward apearance. So, in a way, it is elective but it isn't. That is the way I look at it. Our insurance companies are approving our surgeries hoping to save dollars down the road with medical problems cropping up if we didn't have the surgery. Good luck, and I am glad you have a date. Take care. Sally Ring wrote: > Well everyone, I went to my PCP for medical clearance.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 nope! Re: I HAVE A DATE!!!!! , You were not rambling, and I think whether we are preop or postop, we can all understand the feelings of " excited, anxious, nervous, scared, petrified, all rolled into one " . As a preop, myself, and having my date, I identify with all those feelings. You talk about how you feel all you want. That is what we are here for. As far as the Halloween date is concerned, it wouldn't bother me, but I think that is an individual thing whether you are superstitious or not. If it bothers you a whole lot, I am sure it can be changed to approximately around that time. As far as what your boss might think if she knew the exact surgery to be performed - yes, it is elective, however, I look at it as life saving down the road, and who is to say how long that road might be without the surgery. You are improving your health (whether you have problems now or would in the future), then you are improving your outward apearance. So, in a way, it is elective but it isn't. That is the way I look at it. Our insurance companies are approving our surgeries hoping to save dollars down the road with medical problems cropping up if we didn't have the surgery. Good luck, and I am glad you have a date. Take care. Sally Ring wrote: > Well everyone, I went to my PCP for medical clearance.
