Waiting, it's Monday and I'm still waiting for the surgeon and the gastro doc to co-ordinate and schedule my surgery. The surgeon's wife is due to have her baby this week and he doesn't want to do any surgery that isn't an emergency. It presents a problem as they have to work together. The gastro doc has to do a colonoscopy and tatoo the area that needs cut out. Then I have to stay off food and water for another day. that way, I'll be totally cleaned out and "dry" so they can operate. I'm nervous about it as I'm still having chest pains and know that I have a clogged artery that can't be fixed.
Again, the danger isn't about the colon problem or cancer, but about whether my heart can take the stress of another operation.
I'm going to call the surgeon's office this afternoon to find out what is happening. We'll see how the week plays out.
