Re: less than 2 weeks 2 go and the rug is pulled out

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry for your setback. I have hypothyroid myself. I go to

the surgeon on Wednesday for postop and surgery on next monday. I

am hoping my bloodwork all turned out alright. The nurse at my pcp

called last Friday to tell me that the hospital forgot to run one of

the blood tests and Ihad to go let them poke me again. ughhhh,

anyways, I did question her about my thyroid level and she said it

looked to be ok. I'm just crossing my fingers for Wednesdays

outcome and hopefully next Monday will be my big day. Hang in there

and it will happen for you.

,

I know how frustrated you are. Everytime I think I am about to get my approval

something else comes up which pushes me back. Hopefully this will not delay you

too long. Hang in there. It is just not your time yet. There is a reason for

everything in our lives. There is some reason that you don't know about that is

pushing you back. I know that God protects us at times by changing the timing

to His timing and not ours. You will get your surgery. Think how long you have

waited already a couple more weeks will be nothing. Keep your chin up.

less than 2 weeks 2 go and the rug is pulled

out

I can't believe it.....less than 2 weeks until my surgery date and

the office calls and cancels because my thyroid isn't under control

and my pcp wants to get it under control first.....which it hasn't

been for the past umpteen months......big surprise. My surgeon

doesn't want any bad blood between him and my pcp and he doesn't want

to undermine another physician. How could they dangle this so close

in front of me and yank it away so quick?????? I have waited so long

for this surgery and fought with my insurance company.....I have did

everything everyone has asked and now this.....I have to wait for 2

to 3 months longer. I am so upset......I can't even describe how

upset I am. I'm angry, frustrated, depressed, furious......and

alone......this is awful. I was totally prepared for next

week.....some things just don't seem fair.....

Drowning in tears.......

I understand your frustration and despair over this. It is an awful

thing to have happen but I am a great believer in everything

happening for a good reason. You have no way of knowing that

something bad may have come of it had the surgery gone as planned

but you never know...Maybe this is just a way of protecting you from

that unforseen event.

Keep a positive attitude and things will work out for the best. 3

months will go by quickly and although you will probably feel

resentful towards your pcp for this, it seems that he/she is looking

out for your best interests and obviously cares about you.

You have come this far and you have fought your way through it all.

You can fight through this too and just think how much more weight

you will lose in the end once your thyroid is under control! You

will be a success story! Keep your chin up sweety. You will be so

proud in the end!

By the way, I also had a setback of about 2-3 months during my

waiting process because of Insurance glitches actually. It took me

14 months from the time I started the process until actual surgery

and it was pure torture so I know where you are coming from and I'm

sure words like mine can't really help take away the anguish and

anger you are feeling right now but give yourself a few days to be

good and mad and cry and you will be fine after that.

That is truly harsh and I feel for you but trust me that it is

better to wait a little longer and perhaps practice diet than go

into surgery and never come out...
