Well, so I got a call from my doc this morning and he requested that my surgery be postponed until Friday. He said that he wanted to ensure that he could have his A team at hand for the surgery. Now there seem to be a few different ways that I can interpret such news:
Perspective A:
This surgery is so much more dangerous than the average brain surgery that the surgeon fully requires his top staff to feel utmost comfort with it. Other brain surgeries can get by with the B and C tams, but mine of course, only works with the A team.
Perspective B:
This was really an elaborate ploy devised to get me to move my surgery date to make room for a more time-sensitive case. Now this isn't so bad. Certainly, if I desperately needed surgery, I'd hope that someone would give up their slot for me.
Perspective C (the most likely interpretation):
Dr. Quinones really dislikes operating without his top staff on hand. Maybe someone's sick that day...I don't know what that means for anyone else having surgery on Wednesday, but I think it's probably the best for me.
Anyway, this was all an elaborate way to tell you that I'll be having surgery on Friday rather than Wednesday. Thank you all for your heartfelt messages and please keep me in your thoughts. I'll see you soon...

I think it's because the Dr. had to have an emergency meeting in the Bahamas.
ReplyDeleteYou're in my thoughts and prayers Dave. With the A team on hand, I have no doubt your procedure will be success. Something I learned from you quite a while back: when you feel yourself getting caught up or swept away by it all (in this case the "all" being quite a bit more intense) remember to breathe, to breathe with attentiveness and awareness. I'm sending you every positive thought and intention I can muster. I'll talk to you soon sir.
ReplyDeleteIt's because you only deserve the best, dude. Sending you good thoughts for Friday!
