OPERATION CANCELLED!!

You poor thing, that is so upsetting, had a couple of ops cancelled because I was not fit enough (chest infection), detaining when you've geared your self up.

Oh that is a shame after getting all worked up for it I do wish you luck and hope it all goes ahead as soon as possible ??

So near and yet so far- that was most unfortunate. I would not be at all happy, mainly because I have to make arrangements for my cat to go into a cattery.

What a disappointment. You must have hoped it would be behind you by now. Hopefully you'll receive a call soon. Fingers crossed for you.

Very sadly all to common. My friend is due to have pre op tests tomorrow for a procedure that has already been cancelled twice.
I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

Oh dear! How annoying for you both. All the best when it does happen.

My dad had a successful brain op (to remove a cyst that was causing a serious blockage) 38 years ago and was fine.

Did you swear, NanSue - we'd forgive you if you did! Let us know what happens

MY Bil had his op cancelled last week, too, which mucked up no end of family plans that had been changed to allow for the op and which will no doubt have to be changed to accommodate the new date.

No, that's awful NanSue, cruel too. Fingers crossed for a date very soon.

NanSue - what a frustrating situation to be in. Hope the new date comes through soon.

wobbly hope you're fit and well now. Nina 3rd time lucky or your friend*. kitty How did you guess? but I did do it quietly. The staff were so lovely and so apologetic, so I pasted on a smile and bid them farewell. I hope you're bil doesn't have to wait too long.

Oh nansue how frustrating for you! We had a similar thing happen 2 years ago, and the good news was that second time around, everyone involved was so p*ssed off with having to rearrange things that the anxiety just about evaporated!

Oh NanSue what a disapointment. It's happened to my DH a few times and you get so worked up ready for the op and then you're back to square one again.

Treat yourself to something nice tonight and try not to worry. Please do let us know how you get on and when you get a new date. more enjoyable than flowers

thatbags Thank you, very reassuring to hear that your Dad had such a positive outcome.

What a shame. Such a stressful situation in the first place. Fingers crossed for next time.

Blimey - what a roller coaster! You poor thing! Feel free to swear on here - we can take it - big boys and girls and all that.

I do hope that things go according to schedule next time. All that emotion expended for nothing! Let us hope you will feel less scared next time.

For goodness sake how disappointing I was just about to post a good luck post on your other thread when I saw this..
I hope its not too long a wait for you

When I was waiting for my op the Lady in the next bed was sent home as the surgeon had gone home Ill. The Dr who came to tell her said they are obliged to offer her a date within 28 days.
Not much consolation to you Nansue hope you hear soon.

How frustrating for you. Hope you don't have to wait too long for another date.

Thanks annsixty That is interesting. They haven't phoned yet and they did definitely said they would phone today, with an alternative date that would probably be next week, However I won't hold my breath!

Total Sympathy from me NanSue. My SiL Is, I think, having a major abdominal operation at the moment. I don't expect to hear anything yet,but I know the total upheaval and worry the whole family is feeling right now. I hope it won't be too long for you and will be thinking of you.

Oh you poor thing, hope you get a new date very soon

Oh no , how frustrating for you. Fingers crossed that it all goes ahead very soon.

Oh NanSue how annoying - still if you get really angry that will certainly deal with the fear![gron]

Sorry meant this laptop has a mind of it's own today
