Today was supposed to be a relaxing day, but I spend most of the phone with the surgeon and pulmongists's secretary

However, it's a day before the deadline and I hate when things are so last minute like this

Plus I'm still working and it's not easy to take off work to do more appointments and exams

I've already been using vacation days for these appointments and I'm about to be out for 6 to 8 weeks

On top of that I need to do Covid testing this week and the day before the surgery

Anything one of those can delay the surgery and I don't want that since I've been pain for months

It's the kind of thing when you see the finish line, and somehow there's another obstacle put in your way.

A lot of these things are out of my control and i have time restraints due to my work schedule.

It is and I work in Healthcare so I know. So I know you have to be really on top of stuff because things fall through cracks all the time
