Surgery

Hello my faithful and wonderful friends. I just got the best birthday present anyone could ask for. I told you all that I was approved for surgery. The situation became complicated when one party was requesting a preventative appendectomy and the other party was unwilling to provide a secondary surgeon to be available. We were hoping basically to have two procedures done at once.  What I didn't share with you was that they were saying I may have to wait up to four months to have it done. There were several complications that made scheduling my operation very difficult to coordinate. However, the office called me today to tell me that my post-op appointment will be on May 5th and that the surgery is on the books for May 12th. (Five days after my graduation, the Lords timing is amazing.). I am still not clear on whether or not they are going to perform the appendectomy as we've been praying for. However, when I spoke to my doctor yesterday, he had mentioned that this appointment wasn't to be made until he could find a surgeon to have it removed. Being that it has been scheduled makes me believe that he has chosen a surgeon to perform the second surgery while I am in op already.
A lot of information and still many unknowns because we are working with so many different doctors it can be hard to keep everything straight. The best news is that things are still moving along at a decent pace. Even better that we may finally have an authorization for the preventative appendectomy. Thank you so much for your prayers.
Love always
Britt
