Hospital’s don’t have a lot of wiggle room (specially hospitals in Ottawa) — so it doesn’t take much to cause cancellations (unfortunately.) And well, if there is an infection, it’s probably best not to get it.

Sounds like you have a good team who’ll go to bat for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for next week.

Thanks Lynn.

And thanks for the dag link Milan.

Grouchy, ha ha.

Oma, I didn’t have any qualms about surgery on September 11th. I just want to get it done. The sooner the better. No, I won’t be at the dinner.

Thanks Valerie. I’ll post the recipe. It’s a tradition that I always make them for James’ birthday. They’re his favourite.

Lene, he’s not really a kid anymore, but I still like to do the birthday thing with him. And about getting surgery cancelled at the last minute – it changes everything, doesn’t it? You plan your life around an upcoming surgery, and it doesn’t seem right when they cancel it at the last minute, leaving you prepared for….well, nothing.

Noam, true enough, I’ll be good as new by my birthday.

Julia, I don’t why that makes me feel better, but it does!

This is so disappointing, even to those of us who were just geared up for you mentally! Argh.

nice that the surgeon tried; ‘staff’ infection? you’re on such a roll, this one delay is just like frankenfeurter (sp?) said: “antici…” – patients! consolation prize: you’ll be dancing when your own birthday comes around!

I once had surgery cancelled the night before. It’s awful. Glad to hear you’ll be home for the kid’s birthday, though.

I’m sure your surgery will be a success… and I can’t wait for the blog that says your pain free… I do wish I could try some of those chicken balls though..

I can make those beer battered chicken balls on the 24th! I wasn’t sure your really wanted to have touchy surgery on September 11 … I am glad it was re-scheduled to James’ birthday … and even happier that it was bumped up.

Will you be coming to the Bloggers’ dinner now?

I’ve had people go to extreme lengths to avoid me before, but closing half the hospital?

This sucks. I hope everything happens for you on the 17th…and that everything goes well!
