Unhappy Pushed Back

soooo. im supposed to have my surgery monday and my sis went in this morning....

i get a call from my mom... telling me that one of my blood tests came back REALLY high and that i would have to be on 2 wks of antibotics/ prevacid/bioxin .. this mix pack of like 8 pills a day !!!!!!!!

I was really upset this morning because I had mentally and physically prepared myself for this surgery being monday am.

Nowwwwww. It's the 26th... soooo whoever keeps track of the November Staplers, i have a date change!!!!!


- very sad in jersey.

Default I'm so sorry

That's got to be so hard. I'm sorry to hear that, BUT you do want to be healthy for the surgery, so stick it out - it'll be here before you know it.

Hang in there!

Ugh...I can't imagine how frustrating that must be. I'm sending positive vibes your way that you can wrap your mind around the delay and count down your last 2 weeks...again!...with some peace.

sis is okay.. a lil intolerable of the pain.. but whatever.. she comes home tomorrow... and then its like 2 wks till my surgery ..

starting the countdown yet again.....

this emotional rollercoaster sucks... i keep on wondering IF i really need this.. if its right for me... how ill look skinny... its just all so overwhelming. Im finally doing something strictly for my OWN benefit and I am having a hard time grasping it... does anyone else have/had that issue?
