postpone surgery?
I am thinking about postponing my surgery. My 4 yr-old fell head-first down the stairs and fractured his skull. He is fine from the fall, but they had an incindental finding that we are now going to a specialist about. I am worried that I may not be able to get it all resolved before my surgery in early October. I am also afraid if I postpone the surgery, I will always have something that comes up that seems more important than getting the surgery. I would love some opinions about whether to schedule the world around my surgery or vice-versa.

Oh boy, that's a really tough one. October is still a ways off, so maybe give it a couple of more weeks. You will know more about your son by then

October is a ways off, but right now his appointments are scheduled for late September. I am still waiting to hear from the doc for the last appointment. Ugh...scream in frustration at my calendar...

Hold onto your surgery date. You might get things all worked out with your son's medical issues and still want to have surgery. I'm sorry you're going through this. my thoughts and prayers are with you

I'd keep your surgery date and also tell your son's doctors that you have surgery scheduled. You can always cancel yours closer to the time if you need to.

I'd keep your surgery date! As things progress with your son, you'll have time to make a more informed decision. I agree with Intune, let your son's doctors know you have surgery scheduled, they may be willing to move their scheduling around if they are aware.
Best of luck and take a deep breath!

Are these appointments in late September for treatment or diagnostic? Is there anyway you can get the specialist to comment on how long they think it would take to resolve your son's problem sooner? Did you also explain when you made the appointments that you are due for surgery? I have mentioned that a couple of times when I was working around my date and recovery and gotten special treatment in a few instances.
Those questions seem kinda backward to me, but hopefully you get the gist. And I hope your son is healing well.

thank you guys, for responding. I am dealing with military facilities. I have told them all I am having surgery, and they really don't care. They simply cannot move me ahead of other people who have been waiting... that is why I am having trouble deciding. My son's tests aren't scheduled til later in September, and I still haven't been able to schedule one of them!

i agree with the others, keep your surgery date because its easier to have a date than is to get one. it may end up taking another couple mths for a new surgery date. They don't care when u cancel the date anyway as long as it is not like the day before surgery. i say if u r to go to pre-testing and your sons apptmts are still going on then reschedule.
God Bless u and your family. You'll be in my prayers and i hope that everything works out.
