I wish I could help you. Is there any way that you can go outside and just scream without your children and neighborhood freek out??? Maybe one of the surgeries before yours will cancel. Be sure to let the person that does the surgery scheduling that if you could get in sooner you want to. This happened in the office I worked in. I worked for an OB/GYN for about 4 yrs and part of my job was scheduling and pre-certing surgeries. Just do alot of praying and when your husband is home to help with the kids make sure you take your pain meds and he can watch the kids while you go get in bed. My husband is great, we no longer have kids at home but his mother lives with us who has alzheimers (so she is like a 2 yr old). I an unable to work anymore so I stay home with my mother in law. When he comes home from work he takes care of his mom and me if i am not feeling well (which is about 6 out of 7 days). I only hope and pray that the surgery will help and that your pain will go away!!!
