Seems my UA I gave Tuesday and repeated today shows a bladder infection! Huh? I don't even have any symptoms! But they assured me...so here I am popping antibiotics and gulping cranberry juice...and WAITING! Some more!
I don't understand this. First, I gave a sample at my regular doc's last Friday and no one called me. So Sunday my period starts. I tell my surgeon this when he orders the UA and it came back questionable on Tuesday. Then repeat today and still bad. He says it has nothing to do with that, it's an infection.
Second, why do they do all this just 7-8 days before the surgery? Why couldn't I have done all this a week ago? Then my date wouldn't have had to be moved!
Third...I can't even remember the last time I had a bladder infection, but I'm pretty sure I had symptoms!
I was just getting my mind in order for this whole thing...now I have to readjust.

Can't recall ever having a bladder infection without symptoms either. Suppose it could happen.
Hang in there Red, rooting for this all to be over soon. Can't wait for the first post saying you went for a walk.

That is a bummer! I guess they have to make sure that the surgery is done under the best circumstances so you'll not have complications. I know its hard to have your mind set to one date and then have to wait, but soon it will be all done and you will be recuperating and on to better days ahead!
Many hugs,

So sorry that your surgery has been postponed! But with the antibiotics and all the cranberry juice you're floating in, you will be over it in no time! At least you'll know this is one less thing for them to be fretting over.
Can't wait to hear how you're going for walks and dancing in the aisles soon. I know lots of people who've had this type of surgery and so far nothing but good comments.
We'll be anxiously waiting for good news from you.
