I was in a similar situation. I was scheduled for an arthritic hip replacement last Wednesday. In the runup to that procedure, i called my primary care doc for one last item and made a routine appointment. later that day, her office called me, canceling the appt and stating they were not sure when I could reschedule.

Needless to say,my hip replacement is on hold. Actually,I am better off in limbo than being in the hospital for a couple of days, two weeks at home, with an anticipated total recovery time of four to six weeks.

It may be a while before life returns to anything resembling "normal."
