With not much success in trying to plan Arianna's right hip surgery, we finally decided that it will just be put on hold until after marching band season. The dates we were given just were difficult to squeeze into the limited time frame we had available. For instance May 11th wouldn't have worked as a preop wouldn't have been until the previous week and that isn't very cost effective to stay in a hotel or even fly home and back out there again. May 15th put her hospital stay and return right into finals week so that just wouldn't do either. She is also doing a word processing class over the summer which starts the first week of June and goes for four weeks.
Next available was June 29th with a preop on June 26th and there again cost of hotel stay just wasn't doable. Other date was July 31st. Band camp was that following week and school starting a couple weeks from that and marching band season getting quickly underway. We asked her how important marching band was to her and as expected it is a huge deal for a high schooler that is in band, that is. So I wasn't about to pull her our for surgery.
Instead we will just wait until late fall and go from there.
