another update on this situation...
got a call from the surgery coordinator this morning....she said the 2 docs (pulmonologist & surgeon) don't want me to wait till december 4th for the "left neck node excision", they want it done ASAP
see, the first date the surgeon had available was nov. 28th (this friday) - i turned that date down, cause gabby's bday is on the 27th, we're having her cake & presents after my mom's thxgiving meal, but our family was going to spend friday at the water park as her birthday treat...and she's been allowed to invite 1 friend along...then my whole fam gets together the saturday after thxgiving for our meal at my g-ma's....so this weekend in general, didn't work - i didn't want to b out of commission for a couple days while all this was going on
the next available date the surgeon had was dec. 4th - so i took that one
well, apparently that's not soon enuff for them - so they're forcing me to go in on friday....not for any good reason (i need reasons), just cause they want to get it done
grrrrr!
i understand the urgency of it - but what's 1 more week gonna hurt?! now i've gotta try & figure out how to do all that i already have planned...
-bake & decorate gabby's cupcakes 4 school 2moro
-make her bday cake & finish present shopping/wrapping for thursday
-reschedule the water park trip & hope her friend can reschedule
-delay gabby's water park countdown for a couple more days (we're shooting for sunday) & hope she takes the news well
-make dishes for 2 thxgiving meals (1 thurs., 1 sat.)
-ask curtis to take off work to go with me on friday
-find sitter for the kids (they would have been in school on dec. 4th too!)
-cancel a cake order i had on the books for sunday (hope the 7yr old bday boy isn't upset)
i'm a very scheduled person - even tho it's hard for me to stay on schedule (i'm almost always running late), i need a guideline to stick by, or else i'm lost & forget things
now i feel flustered & frustrated - not the way i wanted to b going into this!
i was happy to put the biopsy off until december - y'd the docs have to go & screw up my plans?!
grrrrrr!

WOW! I Totally can feel your frustration! I'm surprised they really want you to come in soon and make it sound so urgent! Hopefully it'll be for the best! And hopefully you can get through the week without focusing too much on that! You have so much going on!
It will be hard but I know you'll get through it. You are such a strong lady maybe you'll recover faster then they think and be ready to go. If you need any help-seriously any help-with the kids are anything I'm right in Timberville and I'm glad to help. Just call me.
well, i asked if there was a specific reason as to why they wanted it done sooner - and they said no...just that they didn't want to wait
thx so much ladies! i appreciate it!
Wow, you are the opposite of me. If the doc says come in now, I would LISTEN IMMEDIATELY! But I understand your dilemma with not wanting to miss out on family stuff. But in this case, I think there is good reason! Keep us updated!!!!
PS - Love your weekend recap. Ya'll do the cutest and most fun family activities!
