Hi real self beauties I have had quite a day and really need to vent. So went in at 7:30 this morning for tummy tuck and flank lipo but after the dr cuts me open there was a problem with the anethesia and they stopped the procedure saying that the anethesia had gotten into my lungs so they sent me for a lung X-ray. Instead of calling me back to give me the X-ray  results I called them...for them to call me back. I was told my right lung was fine and my left lung looked a little cloudy due to acid reflux and nothing serious however they want me to come back Tuesday and do another X-ray and to take off brand Prilosec until then. Well my thing is if it's nothing serious to worry about why in the world would i do another X-ray that my insurance is not going to cover due to this being elective surgery. Also now that I have taken the time off work as well as my sister and husband they don't know when they can reschedule my surgery on top of that it now has to be done in a hospital instead of their surgical suite. Getting time off from my job is like having the tooth fairy actually come visit you so I reached out to my supervisor to tell her about my surgery issues without saying exactly why I was having the surgery and she says well I'm not looking at the calendar right so I'm not sure your vacation days can be rescheduled. Mind you I didn't ask for any additional days or for time I don't have but if I could actually work next week and just reschedule I mean how hard could that actually be. I'm really upset that I feel like the ps is taking my time for granted not to mention everything I had to have lined up I'll even have to return this expensive chair rental back by the 14th of March but I guess they don't care. Oh then the ps says oh well at least now I can make it to my sons game on time! I'm thankful if I was at risk they stopped I really am b/c he said he could have proceeded but it could have lead to pneumonia but I'm awfully hurt sad and depressed after already going through the pre surgery emotions I mean imagine waking up to a hip to hip opening thinking I'm done and to hear I have to come back and do it again whenever they can:(  Thanks for listening guys I needed it
