Another Date

Well, at around 1pm today my surgery was cancelled. The new date is January 30th with a 6:30am start and the actual surgery at about 8am.

This is the first slot of the day and while cancellation is still possible it’s a bit less likely.

A new date means a new anesthesiologist and a new surgeon. I met the anesthesiologist this afternoon and he informed me that the new surgeon is Dr. Michael Raabe.

The delay was initially a little disappointing after getting prepped to go ahead today but being first of the day when everyone is fresh feels better. Both Shirley and I are taking this as a positive change.

A good friend brought this to our attention “delays are often God’s way of working everything out for our good” or “delays are often divine detours”. God is good.
