7/6/2011 UGH!!

So, today was supposed to be the day before my surgery!! Guess what - it's NOT!!! My surgeon called this morning around 9:30 to tell me that the blood work that I went for yesterday came back and my "levels" are too low! Which means, the surgery would be a very risky surgery - so I guess the fact that they decided not to do it is a good thing! Am I disappointed - you better believe it! Although I have to say- for some reason I was very nervous this past week. I can't really explain why but I was a mess. Now, I don't like having to wait another 2 1/2 weeks but oddly enough - I almost feel better.
I feel better about postponing the surgery for reasons of risk of my health - I feel TERRIBLE about putting the people who took time off of work - out! My husband took 2 weeks vacation - had to change that for later. My mom, she was all packed and ready to come here to take the kids back to her  for just over a week. And, my sister, she took time off to take the kids after my mom so I had extra time to re-coop!! Not to mention all the people who offered to come visit - cook for me and what ever else I needed.
This was not planned - if there were a way I could've known about this last week - I guess I would have tried to boost my levels - i think more protein and red meats are in the diet for the next two weeks!! So, that's the plan - chin up - right??
There's a reason for everything and I guess since I wanna be around for a really long time - the surgery will have to wait - Doctors orders!!
Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming my way - I need them now to help me stay (somewhat) sane!!! Thanks!!
