So dad goes in Sunday afternoon to prep for his surgery. He is there all night, getting shaved from head to toe, taking a peroxide or what ever that orange stuff is bath and getting no sleep because he is nervous as anything. Then come 6am the Dr comes in and tells him he has a bladder infection and there would be a chance they would need to cancel the surgery.
So my mom gets in at about 8am the Drs are telling him it would be a go. So she waits from 8am to 11 with him nervous as can be, and that is when they decide to cancel it - or decided to tell them at least. Then from 11am until 1pm he has to sit there waiting to be release. I went in at 11am to take them home and waited the 2 hours along with my oompa loompa looking dad (from the bath he got the night before)
So he goes home with instructions to take antibiotics for a week and get a re check on his urine. Then if it is clear they will reschedule the surgery for 1-2 weeks (right near Thanksgiving).
So when they get home, the decide to call his urologist to see if she would see him and make sure everything was okay in there. They go in this morning, she reads all the labs and finds HE DID NOT HAVE AN INFECTION!
All this for nothing, but because he started the antibiotics he needs to go the full week of them and of course the surgeons and operating room need to be rebooked. So the time table is still the same. Ugg - so frustrating!!!
I would hate to be him. We think the 2ww for taking a pee test is tough, I can only imagine his anxiety to get this over with and get on with recovery! So that is the news for now. None!
