On another note, my surgery finally has a "confirmed" date. I'm still thinking that they will change it only because it was changed 3 times and then stalled until next month! LOL No worries, I'd gladly wait until Dr. Lucidii is there. He is the head surgeon and told me personally that he wanted to be there. He is the best at what he does, so another month, no worries. Dr. Pickenpaw was worried to keep calling and changing the dates and said she hoped I wouldn't be angry. Which I wasn't because I'm a little nervous. Even though it's an outpatient procedure, I've NEVER had any kind of surgery whatsoever. I know it's just an exploratory surgery and they are reassuring me how "simple" it is, but my nerves still get to me. Needless to say, Dr. Pickenpaw will not be doing the surgery w/ Dr. Lucidii, they are on a monthly rotation and Dr. Levy will be assisting Dr. Lucidii. I have never met Dr. Levy, but I talked to him on the phone, and will meet him a week before the procedure. He even gave me his personal line, which I thought was awesome! (You don't usually get that w/ Army hospitals. They usually give you the run around). They could've done it towards the beginning of the month, but I told them Q will be TDY and so they scheduled a time to work for us. Q will be getting back a couple days before I have it, but at least he'll be here!
