Surgery Date Rescheduled, Almost Cancelled

My date has been rescheduled to May 5, but it almost didn't happen.

I went for my preop on Monday and everything went smoothly, but when I went for registration, everything changed. The hospital has changed its financial side and they now want $8000 by the date of surgery or they will not allow it to happen. I was devastated. I was going to try a D&C to see if it would relieve the pain, but the doctor does not do them in his office, so I was screwed there, too.

I thought all hope was lost until I spoke to a woman I go to church with and she offered to loan me the money for the surgery and let me pay it back however I can. I am so blessed!!

So, the rollercoaster starts again.

Oh my gosh, that's just insane! I have never heard of a hospital not at least allowing you to set up a payment plan--did they say no?

Anyway, it is wonderful you had such a kind offer from a fellow church member. I hope that works out well and you can proceed with no more hurdles.

The hospital said no because there was an amount from 2007 left unpaid that I did not know about (I was on insurance and I thought they paid it all.)

I do know from my preop that he will be removing my uterus and cervix but leaving my ovaries unless something is wrong with them. He also told me to take a 45 minute bath the night before. Anyone know why?

Hmmm. The bath thing is new to me. Is it possibly to cleanse to reduce risk of infection?

I don't know. Maybe to relax you to help you sleep? No clue.
