Today was quite an interesting day.  Reported to Celebration Hospital for Nutrition Class & Pre-Admission at 9am.  Was doing okay until the Nutrition part of the class, now its all a bit more scarey.  I need to sit down with the manual and make out a grocery list and then do some prep work this weekend so things are ready.  

Pre-Admission was a breeze.  Everyone at Celebration is very nice.  Really liked the Pre-Admit nurse, Connie.  I was done there by 2pm so I called Dr. Beltre's office to see if maybe they could squeeze me in this afternoon instead of having to take more time from work on Thursday - started for home and waited for a call back.

Received a call from Dr. B's office shortly after reaching home and, Yes, he could see me.  "Oh by the way we had to change your surgery date to November" something.  No - sorry that's unacceptable as I my Cigna Ins. runs out on 10/31/07 due to my job change.  Unless you want to start all over again, you'll need to get me in before 10/31.  

Well that was quite the shocker - I went on up to the office and worked with the nurse to get another date - first 10/31, but what if I need to stay a day or two? Keep looking - then she wanted to know if I could go today 10/17?  Ah NO - husband is working and boss needs time to cover my work.  So we finally agreed on 10/22 at 7:40 am! Yikes - that means that we have to be at the hospital at 5:30am.

So I called my boss, Lori, and she was really good about the change.  Preferred that it was sooner rather than later after my co-worker moved on to the Branch office.  Husband was able to time trade with a couple of his co-workers so in the end its all good.  These Doctors just don't realize what chaos they cause when they suddenly change plans.
