The plastic surgeon's nurse just called to say she had mis-communicated with the Dr and in fact he doesn't think my arm will be ready for surgery on the 17th.  He told her "a couple weeks" (apparently the 4-6 week window he gave me, with the 17th being 6 weeks, is not hard and fast -- shocking).  When I asked whether the two week extension was from today or the 17th, of course, she couldn't answer.  Meanwhile, the Dr is in surgery today and so I may not hear from him until Monday about a new date.  I can't even begin to express how this makes me feel.  Once again, my and my sister-in-law's plane tickets purchased; hers will have change fees.  But mostly it means another couple weeks on the VAC, which I understand is trivial in the big scheme -- and means I have an arm, so why am I complaining -- but really, really makes me crazy.
