when to reschedule

Tomorrow I call my doc to give him an update on how I'm feeling so we can reschedule the surgery. I'm feeling better from the bronchitis, but not 100% yet - I'm still coughing a little but don't have the really bad coughing fits. Based on how I've improved from friday to today, I really feel like I should be ok by Wednesday (he only does surgery on Wednesdays) I'm afraid that he may say to wait until I'm through with the antibiotics, which puts the date as the 20th.

I feel like I'm in this limbo land. I was so ready to have the surgery last week - I even had my bags packed. I want it to be over with as soon as possible so I can start getting back to normal. At the same time I know I don't want to risk anything if I'm not 100%.

I'm just frustrated and need to vent. I went to the grocery store today and didn't know if I should get groceries for three days or for a week.

Thanks for putting up with my venting, and please think good thoughts for me!

Hi DallyJo,

I can imagine how hard it was for this to happen. In the end, of course, playing it safe to avoid a bad outcome is the most logical course to take. Who knows, maybe your dr will feel that having the antibiotics in your system won't hurt. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

{{{DallyJo}}} I'm so happy that you're feeling better

As EM pointed out, it is most important that you are healthy enough to undergo the surgery. I remember reading that the most important issue here is how clear your lungs are.

I know that the wait IS the hardest time, but you need to be sure that you can get through it, with no additionnal issues to deal with.

Hang in there, Honey, you're almost there!!! And we're right there, cheering you on.
