Cancelled, Rescheduled.....Limbo

I woke up this morning (Monday) not feeling great. I had stuffy nose and was a bit dizzy. But I always feel dizzy after NyQuil.

I called the surgeon at 11am and told the nurse I caught a bit of a cold. She didn't ask for my symptoms, and just said "The doctor said we need to reschedule". I pleaded that I had no fever, and zero congestion. But she said "Doctor said to reschedule, so we reschedule".
The Only days that I could reschedule for was either October 31 which as we all know is Halloween, or on November 5 which is my daughters 17 birthday. I reluctantly chose Halloween.

Funny thing is, throughout the day I felt better and better. So at about 6pm, I called the doctors office back to see if they can put me back on. The answering service said my doctor was not on call and could not reach him.

I called the Hospital and spoke to an awesome nurse named Cathy. She tried everything, but said she could not schedule me without speaking to the doctor.

Her advise was to prepare for surgery. Not to eat or drink after midnight. The doctor was scheduled for surgery at 7:30 am. She told me to call before then to see if he could still fit me in.

So now Im in limbo. It's after midnight, so o food or water for me. I feel good, I had my last spritz of Zicam 5 minutes ago. My left nostril is a bit congested- but that's it.

So- Hopefully my next post will be "Mission Accomplished".
Night.
