Anyone find themselves cancelling scheduled Procedures/Appointments?
This is something that I though about a lot after being in the hospital the last 3 days. Doctors at the hospital were telling me how the hospital really isn’t a good place to be right now. Last Friday I had to miss out on getting my port placed because my upper respiratory virus that I was fighting off for almost a week started to get worse. I began spitting up fluid each time I coughed and the shortness of breath just got worse. I DID get tested for COVID19 but it came back negative. I was positive for a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract though and was sent home.
At home I have really been giving thought to how all of this is going to look for future appointments and procedures. So far I have canceled an outpatient ultrasound for my cysts near my removed ovary. I also am thinking about cancelling the port placement surgery (rescheduled for this Friday) out of fear of contracting this. One down side to that would be that I won’t have the proper nutrition or hydration to even have my body begin to fight something off that has the potential to be more severe.
Did anyone have to make some calls and cancel appointments or procedures recently? What HAVE you gone to if you did and what were your main reasons for cancelling if you didn’t? Share here!
