I have had a very emotional day. I was scheduled for my exchange surgery tomorrow and woke up this morning with spider bites all over my sides and back. The Dr does not want to do surgery until I am healed. So everything is on hold for now :(

It seems like I am not meant to have this surgery. The Radiation Onc. wanted to wait 6 months after radiation but the PS wanted to wait only 1. It will be at least 3 at this point so I guess that will be a good compromise.

Best Wishes to all of you having surgery this month!

-Nancy

    When spiders bite, they can
    When spiders bite, they can bite multiple times. I was biten once three times and it became infected and I had cellulitis develop. Then you need antibiotics. I believe in live and let live unless it's spiders in my house.

    Nancy .. I am so very sorry to hear about the bites, but
    more importantly - the delay in surgery. I have been there, like so many women and it sucks big time - nothing makes sense, or makes you feel better. Just know that in time things will change and you will have the body, boobies and life you once lived.

    Honestly ...

    What are the chances?
    Dear njpost,

    I'm so sorry. Seriously, what are the chances of you getting bitten by spiders the DAY BEFORE your surgery? Ugh. I cannot imagine your frustration. The expression on the baby for your avatar pretty well sums it up. What the heck?

    It is a good compromise, though between the radiation onocologist and the PS. Hopefully during that time not only will the spider bites heal, but your skin will be able to heal more from the radiation and be better prepared for the exchange.

    Sorry you have to wait! But it will be worth it in the end.

    Blessings,
    dh

    According to my beau's dad....
    There are no Dutch biting spiders...

    But, MAN, are there some BIG scary ones I'd rather not test that out on!!!!

    Sorry for the delay, dearheart, but it does give you a bit more recovery time...take full advantage!!!

    BIG hugs, Kathi
