Surgery *BUMPED*.....

Change of plans,.. due to a surgical emergency, Scott's open-heart surgery has been bumped a day. He will now check into the hospital on Tuesday, May 23rd, instead of Monday, the 22nd, and his surgery will be early Wednesday morning, May 24th, instead of of Tuesday, the 23rd.

While the one day delay actually works in our favor for finishing preparations,.. it also has it's turmoil. The 24th was my late brother-in-law's birthday. He passed a year ago on Feb. 25th, and this birthday would have been his 30th. He had 4 heart surgeries in his lifetime, making this whole heart topic all the more sensitive in our family,........... Scott's surgery being on his birthday is difficult for me. I can't explain the exactness of why, but it is........ probably because of Kris' heart history, and that day already being difficult now that he's no longer with us. I so had hoped for it to not fall on that day. Even though the surgery date was initially for only the day before,.. it was a relief to me that it was not on Kris' birthday. My heart feels sad & weary....................
