Too bad for the delay.
Hope all goes well and the extra days wait won't cause you to much anxiety.
Best of luck.

If you are scheduled to have your spleen removed, there are some vaccines you should get, several prior to splenectomy if possible.
Scroll down a bit in this document.

If you end up not undergoing a splenectomy, there is no harm in getting them anyway.

Yep, got those last week when the surgery was decided. Thanks for ensuring I knew about them though!

Update: Surgery on Tues 12/8 went well. Removed about 1/3 of Pancrease Dr. said, maybe a little more. Signs of severe pancreatitis although I had no real symptoms or pain. Splene removed as well. Recovery slow (and painful). Just released yesterday 12/12 and the 3.5-4 hour drive back was not a lot of fun. Rough night last night, but I was trying not to take Oxycodone and lasted until 3AM last night. Only have 20 of the pills. I go back to have draininage tube removed and hopefully have pathalogy results this coming Friday 12/18. Thanks for all who posted thoughts and prayers.
