Messy. Confusing. Hectic. Such has been my life in the last 72 hours.
I was scheduled to have surgery on my spine next Monday, the 19th. It was supposed to be in West Phoenix, more than 90 minutes from where my wife is now working, and where my daughter is being taken care of during the day. The hospital is supposedly top of the line, but designed for same day surgeries. I was scheduled for a 5-7 day stay. The hospital was so far away, I was expecting no visitors, and the hospital had no internet access for patients!! In 2011?! FML. Needless to say, I was not looking forward to my stay.
I received a phone call on Thursday morning from my surgeon's office. He had a last minute cancellation for a surgery this Monday morning. Considering the recent complications I have been experiencing, and the major inconvenience the location of the other hospital would pose upon my family, he was offering me the first chance to take the place for the cancellation.
