On October 6th, I received a phone call that my sacroiliac fusion surgery on my left side on October 14th had been cancelled. I was told the surgeon was unavailable. I could wait until mid-December or see one of the other 3 spine doctors to see if they could fit me into their case load.
I met with a new surgeon last Thursday. I really like him. He told me that my original surgeon had been in an auto accident and sustained major injuries; he is expected to have a full recovery, but it will take time. This new surgeon said he would try to fit me into his surgery schedule within 3 weeks.
I received a phone call a short while ago. I have a date! My surgery will now take place on October 22nd. I am thanking God that this will allow me to recover sufficiently before the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
I received a little bouquet of flowers from my cleaning lady's garden again last Thursday. It has been a blessing to have some flowers to enjoy. We did have a light frost last week so these may be the last blooms. I do like autumn but of course here in northern Indiana the growing season ends in October. I have my photos of past bouquets to peruse now during the colder months.
