De-Lay

As I was running around headless chicken style today at 4:00pm the day before the surgery I got a phone call. The caller id revealed it was the Ortho's office All the air left my lungs Barely audibly "hello?!?" Scheduling girl "Hey Katie. (exhale) So, you know what this is about. We have to reschedule." I resist the urge to make sound as I am not sure whether a laugh or a sob will escape. Secheduling girl "Dr. has the flu. He couldn't even make it through the day today. He left early. He wants to be at his best so...Well, um...we'd just reschedule you to next week, but his PA is on vacation then so it's gonna be Oct 14th. Ok?" At this point I have gone completely numb and do not remember responding, but I must have because she hung up.
