Making changes to a schedule

Hi,

My massage therapist told me that a lot of her clients cancelled their appointments (maybe six in one week) and that she had to make a lot of changes to her schedule. She'd call other clients and give them the spots of the clients that called off their appointments.

Could I use these sentences to describe the trouble she had to go to to make it work?

"She had a lot of reshuffling to do this week because of all the cancellations." (She had to reshuffle the appointments.)

"She had to tinker with her schedule a lot to fill the empty slots/spots."

"She had to play around with her schedule a lot to accommodate the clients who'd cancelled on her."

Thank you.

Not so good. To my ear "tinker" sounds like small, fussy changes to something
