Well, I got a call this morning from Indiana University Health/Simon Cancer Center, my hospital in Indianapolis, and my surgery (this Thursday) has been postponed. It was not unexpected. Local hospitals are doing the same thing, and last night I heard that another major Indy hospital, St. Vincent, was canceling all non urgent surgeries starting Tuesday.
So, when I got a call at 9:00 this morning from the hospital, I had a pretty good idea what was coming.
I am scheduled now for surgery in the summer, and luckily was able to work around Happy Trails, The FAMulous Collectibility Show, and a visit from Beach Boy Son and his family. I'm still working on rescheduling a visit to Denver Daughter's and Mountain Mama's homes, but right now the times I have open and am not in recovery do not work for them. I've bought BreyerFest tickets but I doubt that I will be recovered enough to go. (That is, if that event is still held.)
I'll be honest, a part of me is very relieved that the surgery has been postponed while another part of me wishes to just get it over and get through it. I'm not excited to have it hanging over me for the next couple of months. But, I am in agreement with what is being done to try and contain the COVID-19.
Stay healthy, friends!
