Frustration

So, yesterday Tim was supposed to have knee surgery. After being there for 3 hours Tim finally asked the nurse what was going on. That is when the nurse informed us that something happened at the hospital that caused the whole surgical unit to fall behind by at least 4 hours. We don't know what happened, but obviously that caused Tim's surgery to be pushed back. She said that she was going to call Tim's doc and find out what he wanted to do. He came in shortly after and gave Tim 2 options. Option A: wait around until 8 or 9 (at this point it was 4:30) and hopefully get it done or option B: reschedule. Tim's problem was that he didn't want to wait around all day since he was starving due to the fact that he had to fast since midnight. He was also concerned that the surgery wouldn't happen for another 3-4 weeks if we rescheduled. Well, Tim's surgeon called his assistant and moved some things around and is now doing Tim's surgery at 7:30 in the morning. We need to leave the house at 5 to get there by 5:30 which is 4 hours from now. This is going to be a long day............
