we were 5 minutes from hospital this morning and my surgeon,Dr Remzi calls and tells me he is cancelling surgery and rescheduling for tomorrow morning 530am. Apparently they moved his surgeries to the old surgical wing of the Cleveland Clinic this morning which he was not all to happy with. He said since I am a difficult case and all I have been through, that he wants my surgery to be in the regular surgical wing where its an environment he is comfortable in and has his nurses and his surgical staff on hand. He was very sorry to do this but felt it was the right decision for me. Luckily i only live 20 minutes from hospital. This happened for the best I feel.A better situation and hell, an extra day of prayer..

Aaagggghhhhhh! Hang in there...great attitude. It does really sound like the best option though...the last thing you need are any more possible bumps :-)
ARRRRRhhhhhhGGGGhhhh!
So have a doughnut and a really good cup of coffee and go see a funny movie...take a deep breath and reboot...(as Jan would say)
Good luck tomorrow

Happy, comfortable surgeon = good results 
Good luck tomorrow!
Ah, yes. The biggest problem I see here is what you can and cannot eat! I hope it doesnt' cause you issues. But I agree, it's the right decision. You'll be in "Hawaii" before you know it!
can and cannot eat??? i ate normally today as i did yesterday. The surgery instructions stated nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery. Last night i didnt eat past 8pm and nothing to drink after midnight. Tonight i will have no food after 7 pm and no water after about 10 since i will be going to bed since checkin time is 515am
i currently have my ileostomy still.
Sending White Light starting as soon as I get up. So you are covered from the East.
Hoping all the best. My surgery is on the 13th At CC. Janet

Ah, yes. I remember! Cleveland Clinic does this right. I had an ileostomy at a few prior surgeries at other hospital(s) and they didn't realize that the food goes through a bit quicker with an ileo! You are right. Hope you enjoyed the day! I'll be thinking about you tomorrow and I'm confident you'll be a new man about ... Thursday!
Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Connie
