Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Blair, I am so sorry that your surgery had to be postponed due to latex. But look on the bright side, you won't be scratching and digging from the latex after the surgery. Remember that your health is always first with Dr. R. Keep us posted, will ya? in SC Pre-op 386 lbs.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Oh, Blair. You sound fine in your post, but I am sorry for the delay. I hope you find out very soon that you can proceed in August. You're in my prayers. Blessings, Amy. ----Original Message----- From: BJenk23768@...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Hi Blair, I'm so disappointed for you!!!!!!!! It is so much better to be safe than sorry. I also have a lot of allergies. I'm almost 8 weeks post op and you can still see where I had an allergic reaction to the tape. I understand that latex allergies are nothing to mess around with. We are blessed that Dr. R stays on the side of caution. He only wants the best for us. Sorry I won't get to meet you on this trip. Maybe we can get together at the picnic. I wish you the best.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{BLAIR}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Big hug for you, Blair. I read all your post last week and know that you were excited and motivated to have surgery this week. Knowing how much you wanted this " dance " and seeing how well you are handling the set back says a lot about your character. Good Luck on the 9th Warmly, Beth in Orlando > Hi: > > I'm afraid that Bernadine went on by herself today - Dr. R. put my surgery > off until we can determine whether I am allergic to latex. !!!

It had to be devastating to be there and ready and then not to be able to go, but look at how much the doc cares about you! Will you be tested at home? Do they not have " alternate material " gloves that they can use? If you go on the 9th, you might be littermate to Chris! Keep us posted, sweetie!
