If I were to title this post it would be:
I Hate it When the Plan Changes
This afternoon we got a phone call from Sloan-Kettering (Dana that is where we will be, we hope that is the hospital you are working at....and of course we remember you!). They just wanted to let us know about Ally's scans next week. Our impression before 4:00 this afternoon was that Ally had several scans next Tuesday, we would have Wednesday free and her surgery would be Thursday. So......daddy was very surprised when they said Ally's Monday scan would be in the morning. Ummmm.....we are leaving Boston at 11:00 on the train on Monday. CHANGE OF PLAN!!!
We had to scramble and get our train tickets refunded, then buy the more expensive weekend ticket and get ahold of the social worker to get into the Ronald McDonald house earlier.
Changing the train tickets was actually easier than we expected (and we got a full refund!) and we are still waiting to hear about the Ronald McDonald House. Not a huge deal, but now we have one less day at home, and have to travel to Boston in what seems to be a 3 day snow storm. I am sure everything will work out...it always does!
Happy New Year!

To coin a phrase... Shit!
Are they absolutely sure of the change in plans? Hospitals have been known to make mistakes.
A number of years ago when I needed a lump removed we went in for the prep only to have the nurse say oh so casually, "...the right breast." I replied in no uncertain terms that it was, in fact, the left breast. Seems to me the whole shebang had to be rescheduled because of that one error.
So, my point is, just because someone said the scans were now scheduled for Monday doesn't necessarily mean they are. I hope it really does work out. ♥
That is certainly worth mentioning. Thank-you! In this case, though, no one said "RE-scheduled."
It's just that they were given to believe the scheduling would go that way,
but it didn't.
I figure a lot of people's needs bumped together,
as the hospital is all super-specialist stuff.
