So Friday I went for my final office visit before surgery, my surgeon had a small twist to throw into the works. To tell it appropriately, I need to back up and state that this is a "new" surgeon to the office. He has been doing surgeries for years at a hospital about 40 miles north of us, and when my hospital needed a new surgeon, he was picked. At the old hospital, he liked to use a robot when he did the surgeries, as he feels that it makes it safer and more efficient and just a better surgical experience for everyone.
So ... when he was hired on by my hospital, he asked the hospital to buy him a robot to use in the surgeries. They have done exactly that, but it wont be available till Septemeber 1st.
So here is where the twist comes in ... I can have surgery on the 28th, or I could wait till the following week and have the robot, that would add some layers of safety to the surgery. Since we would only have to wait a week, we have decided to move back the date.
So new date ... September 6th!
