I turned up at Epsom Saturday morn for my RHR but got sent home as anaesthesist short. So depressed and fed up. Any ideas how long I'm gonna have to wait now ......

    I live in Epsom, but had my operation at Parkside Hospital. Hopefully the hospital will get you booked in asap. I can't imagine they will leave it too long. Best wishes, Kathy x

    Wow, how upsetting is that! My surgery is on Tuesday, but there has been a screw up with my doctor's release letter. I have an appointment for Monday morning to get this resolved, but I'm so worried that my operation will be delayed. All the stressful build up to the day of surgery is almost more than I could endure a second time. I hope your matter is handled very quickly.

    It was horrible having to leave after building myself up that all would soon be over and the road to recovery had finally arrived. Hope to hear sooner than later and so it's back to work next week until I know!

    Mine was cancelled at 4.30pm last Tuesday when my admission should have been on Thursday at 7 am. It's so upsetting when you have built yourself up to going in. How awful you were turned away at the hospital! I have no idea when mine will be rescheduled, they are saying 4-6 weeks at least. Hope you get yours rebooked soon 

    Best Wishes

    Oh I feel so sorry for you. I would have hated having my op cancelled. You're all geared up for it. Hope you get it rescheduled quickly. Maybe get your GP involved? Good luck.
