I depend for everything on the outcome of a doctor´s appointment. I have the said appointment exactly at the same time of the day that my daughters could come to visit me. So they will come for 10 minutes, giv me a kiss and take me to the metro to go to the doctor.
Then, whatever I do as a celebration (or lack of it) depends on the outcome of this visit. I migght have to undergo surgery. That means money, stress and fear. Until I know what´s the matter with me, I will not start inviting anyone.
Have you had health issues inferfering with your special dates? Share.

It seems that doctors want to do a biopsy of a limph node in my belly. I don´t much like that as it´s not only a worry but very expensive. Meanwhile, I had some time with my two daughters and part of my grandchildren.

My insurance covers part of my surgery. Probably it would be a lot better if I did it at the hospital the insurance covers more. But I like the best doctors and that costs a lot.

Thanks a lot, HWG. I´m getting angry and anxious at all the test and not being able to have an answer.. I wish all this would end, for better or worse.

Thanks a lot jaiho. Thwere is no outcome yt and I´m still waiting to know about my health issues. It seems that what I have is very rare, so several doctors will have to see what to do. I am afraid, I can´t say I am not.

Wish you many happy returns of the day. I have not had any health issues which were a major concern so far. However, who knows when I may feel my body giving up. Hope you get well soon.

I got out of the hospital five days before my birthday this year. I didn't know when I was going to start chemo at that time and I didn't know what I was going to do so I just took things one day at a time. I hope that you get good news at the doctor today. Happy birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!!!
I've had health issues interrupt many special occasions all my life. I was getting ready to go on a trip to Ireland and even had my plane ticket and bags almost packed when I found out I had cancer and needed to be treated right away. (Yes, I got rid of it. 
)
Now, if it turns out that you do need surgery, please try to remember that surgeries, although scary, are very common. I've had a grand total of 29 surgeries in my lifetime, to date. The last one had me scared, I admit, because it was on my spine, in my neck. But, I came through the surgery with flying colors and healed very quickly.
Your general health seems to be very good from what I can tell by your posts. That will make a big difference if you do need surgery. I'd say you really have nothing to worry about but I don't know what you may need surgery for so I can't say don't worry. Still, I look at surgery as a way to get better from whatever it is that we need the surgery for.
Keep your thoughts positive and, even if you do need surgery, that positive attitude will go a long way in getting you through the surgery and the healing period afterward.
As for celebrating, you can do that any time. If you get bad news today, then just go with your feelings. A celebration might help to get your mind off the news. If it's just too much, put your birthday celebration off for another time. I don't think there's any law in ANY country that says we can't celebrate any time we want for whatever reason.
Please keep me updated! I can (virtually) hold your hand the whole way if you need some support. Like I said, been there, done that. I'm an old pro at surgery.
