Will my surgery EVER happen?

I finally reached my surgeon's office yesterday.

Needed to let them know that my medical record should show that I do in fact have sleep apnea (that was one of the questions on the intake form).

Before I could tell her the reason for my call, she asked me when I had seen the doctor.

"May 18th of this year," I said.

"Not before May of next year," she replied.

"I'm sorry," I said, "I'm not sure I understand what you mean."

"Your surgery won't be before May of next year," she repeated.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," I said, "but that wasn't what I was calling about."

Then our discussion continued to cover the matter of my apnea.

Turns out it's not a problem (which I knew it wouldn't be -- just knew it needed to be part of the record).  I should just let them know at the pre-op meeting, whenever that happens.

But on a lighter note, I AM on the cancellation list and sometimes that moves quickly.  Apparently some people keep postponing.  I assured her that I would not postpone -- when I get the call, I'm good to go.

She suggested that it might not take all that long then.

Yeh right.  Perhaps March instead of May?
