Second Time!
I was scheduled to have my gastric bypass last
Wednesday at the Hershey Medical Center, I was so excited
after counting down the days since, 09/09/99 when I
found out that I was diabetic and the surgery was
suggested. I went in, went through all of the pre-op
proceedures, went to the pre-op room, and waited. I got there
at 11am, at about 3:30 my surgeon comes and tells me
to go home. They can’t possibly get me in the OR
until 9pm, which is too late. The only thing is that I
live 1 1/2 hours away, don’t drive, and am broke. Due
to a bad experience I had in Philly, when I was
robbed by someone in the ER, I had given all my money,
credit cards, etc to my friend that had dropped me off.
So, the hospital ended up putting me up in a hotel,
giving me a voucher for dinner, and giving me a bus
ticket home. I was heartbroken, but when I think about
it, I want my surgeon to fresh and alert when he
operates on me. So, Friday, hopefully will be my
day.<br><br>C H O C O L A T E
