Update

First, I want to thank all of you for your kind words and well wishes. It has really meant a lot to me. It's nice to know that all of you care so much. THANK YOU!!

Second, there have been some issues with the surgery scheduling. My nurse basically dropped the ball and didn't get me an appointment to have the bladder test done. After MANY phone messages to her and one final, nasty one to her and to my Dr., I got the appointment for March 9th. Needless to say I was pretty pissed off. I then found out that my Dr. is scheduled through to March 26th for the surgery. So--it looks like March 26th it is. That is unless something unforeseen happens when they test my bladder.

Last, I am still in a BLAH place. I might start reading again because I miss you all so much--but I don't know. You might just see my mug in your comment section once in a while. Thanks again for all of the support!!

I was wondering how you were doing, and I will be thinking about you on Saturday! We will miss you!

Erin said...

Doctors offices can be SOOO frustrating sometimes! I'm sorry.

Do you think you will be able to go to the meet and greet on Saturday? I'll be there!!!

Me (aka Danielle) said...

I have been thinking about you! We will all be here when you get back! Take the time you need!

Jo said...

Grrr. I don't think the medical community even begins to realize how stressful this all is, and when things like that happen, it just sends it through the roof. I am sorry. Praying all goes well.

Brooke said...

I'm sorry for all of the irritation. Like it's not bad enough. Sheesh. I've been missing you! I hope you get feeling better. Seriously, take all the time you need.

BOOOOO doctor's offices. BOOO people not doing their jobs. BOOO to everything.

Lisa said...

I was tickled pink to see a post from you!!!! You've been on my mind and in my prayers.

Hang in there sweetie.....

Jules AF said...

It's good to see a post from you, I've been thinking about you. It's so frustrating to hear about your Drs office... I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! *HUGS*

Lara Neves said...

While I'm thrilled to see a post from you, I'm annoyed for you at the Dr's office. So frustrating.

Will be thinking of you in the next few weeks...I hope everything goes well.

I feel bad about the mix up at the doctors. As if you weren't dealing with enough already.

I am glad to hear an update from you. I will look forward to hearing from you again soon. You are in my thoughts.

Sandy said...

I'll keep you in my prayers! Best of luck:0)

Melissa said...

I've been thinking about you. So sorry to hear about all of your frustrations. Hope everything goes well..

Jillybean said...

YAY you posted! Sorry things aren't going well. Communicating with the doctor's offices are so frustrating! I actually posted about that today. Miscommunications can and do happen, but when it's in a situation like this, they should realize how it affects people.
Hope things work out for you.
I was serious about bringing you brownies.

Sorry to hear the turmoil you are going through. Take care of yourself and I wish you well for your surgery.

Just SO said...

I'm glad you came and gave us an update! I'm hoping you'll come to the meet and greet on Saturday so I can meet you and greet you. And go leave a comment on my 200th post so you have a chance to win!!

Lee said...

I'd be careful with that doctor. My mom's always blown it off when scheduling stuff happened, and they wound up being crappy doctors.

Victoria Elder said...

Well I hope you that you are ok! MIss your blogs. That sounds frustrating about the scheduling mishap!

Liz said...

Maybe we should all pray that someones surgery becomes unneccesary and you can take that spot!! It's all about the positive thinking. Either that or that the Dr or RN suddenly are in need of similar medical care and find themselves in your position...

Sorry, I am so crabby but I hope everything goes well!

Wendyburd1 said...

It sucks when they screw up something you are already worried about and now have longer to worry about! They suck Jillene.

Ashlee said...

I swung by this weeked and try to leave a comment but my computer was being funky!

It is good to see you back!

Hope all goes well with your tests!
And your surgery!

rychelle said...

i hope it all works out!

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

I have missed you! I completely understand the whole appt nightmare..we go thru this all the time with my husband's care. UGH!

You're in my daily prayers, Jillene! Blessings to you and your family:)

Hugs!

Remember what you talked on last night?? There is humor in everything.... let's see what is the humor in this? You don't have to spend money on condoms, tampons or maxi pads anymore!! Go you!! :)

Bobie said...

Seriously though, I Love ya!! Just knock the nurse out when you see her. You'll feel better.

Holly said...

so glad to hear and update, I've been wondering how things were going.

Medical issues are horrible. BUt you know, I was just talking this morning to a friend (an actual, real life friend, to her face, in a car!!!) about trials in life and how each of us have to face trials that are the maximum of our abilities to handle. It's scary and it's comforting to know that. I will be thinking of you and your trial. I hope that surgery goes well and brings relief. And that you find some modicum of peace through it all.

Unknown said...

I understand the BLAH! I just picke dup St Johns WOrt recently, and thank goodness...it is working great!

Hang in there, hon!

Unknown said...

Arghhhhh, I hate dealing with Dr's offices!! Your blog buddies are still thinking of you. Good luck to you, keep us posted when you can.

I miss you so much and I hope you're doing ok. I'm sorry your surgery has been delayed. That doesn't seem fair at all. I've been thinking about you a lot and hoping you're well.

Unknown said...

it is the hardest thing to be feeling BLAH mentally and be feeling crappy physically at the same time. i know Dr.'s are so hard to deal with. hope things get better. you are still in my prayers.

Waiting for surgery is the worst! Praying the time goes by quickly.

Kristina P. said...

So, I've seen you on other blogs, lurking about, and people told me you emailed them about the meet and greet, but I got nothing! Are you breaking up with me, Jillene? :)

Hey, we did miss you on Saturday and I talked to Christa about how you were doing. It wasn't the same without you! Definitely the next one! Hope you're doing OK!

B said...

Girl, I just saw you in my comment section and it totally made my heart soar to hear from you since I've been thinking about you.

What a rough ride it's been just to get a date booked. A month can seem like a lifetime away, or like it's nothing at all depending on how you look at it. Wish the nurse hadn't dropped the ball though.

*Hugs*
