    THR Surgery countdown

    I'm done. I waited today for a call about my surgery scheduled for tomorrow. I finally received it at 2 p.m. giving me instructions for the next day. Thirty minutes later I received another call that Covid patients had been admitted and took up the beds so I was cancelled. I can't live and work...

    THR Colette’s Pre-op Thread

    Hi! Welcome. I'm fairly new here also. I am still waiting to see if my surgery for Tuesday happens or not due to Covid. This is my second try after having first one cancelled in November due to same thing. I've never had epidural but from what I've read on this forum it sounds like a positive...

    Thanks @Sunnytimesahead I understand your decision to go through with outpatient surgery as your only choice right now. My doctor isn't giving me that choice and here we go again Cleveland Clinic stopped surgeries beginning 12/7. It's like an awful remake of Groundhog's Day--except my surgeon is...

    THR Alexrd in recovery

    Congrats Alex on being on the other side. :yes!:. So happy to hear you are moving around well. Unfortunately I didn't get to join you as the Covid monster caused my hospital to cancel my surgery. I'm suppose to be scheduled for 12/8 so if it really happens I'll just be a few weeks behind you so...

    Thanks @Mojo333 and @leejaa for the positivity. I'm afraid I'm not feeling much of it right now. I had everything planned to the day day as far as my job and this has now thrown a major wrench into already tight financial planning. I'm trying to keep busy with other things but I live alone so my...

    THR Advice Welcome

    @Sunnytimesahead I certainly can relate with feeling like I've lost that strong, confident woman. I'm hoping she's hiding somewhere. I feel like I've been living less than for quite a while because of the pain. I hope you are up and at 'em soon.:dancy:

    THR Hippity Hop to the Other Side

    Congrats @EditorER . So glad you are doing so well. I hope things continue to go smoothly for you. I've been given a new tentative date of 12/8 but I'm not going to get to excited about it. I won't believe it until I'm actually there at this point. I will be checking in on your progress!:happydance:

    THR Surgery countdown

    Thanks to all. @Schaargi I am taking lots of deep breaths. It's been a domino effect. My job has been negatively impacted by this and I feel badly for my patients. The surgeon's office called yesterday to say I've been tentatively rescheduled for 12/8. I'll believe it when I'm wheeled into the...

    THR Apprehensions Before Surgery

    @EditorER I am in Ohio. The only hospital that stopped elective surgeries in Ohio is mine--Cleveland Clinic. Very frustrating but I keep remembering that I'm not one of the poor folks in an ICU bed because of Covid.
