Cancelled operation.
Posted , 5 users are following.
so, pre op done. 27th Dec. op planned for 18th jan. phone call received to check in with me thursday to ensure no open wounds etc. general questions to which asked about chances of being cancelled today none, we are not bring used as **vid hospital.
went for covid test this morning friday, for operation monday. 3pm today get a call saying cancelled due to having to close a theatre as using threatre staff at another hospital. very frustrating. i understand people dying but to cancel 2hrs before hospital closes (offices) before your monday adminision is very upsetting.
would not give me details on when can I can expect new date, and said was not classed as urgent. i asked to speak with someone senior as my consultant told me urgent and have it in writing that im classed as urgent case and needed operation within next 4-6wks lady looked and apologised, saying admin error and promised to come back to me Monday to let me know how to proceed. took her direct details Incase doesn't ring me.
me & my husband messing our work places about and losing money and work bringing in temps to cover jobs.
rollercoaster of emotions....

Vickie,
So sorry to hear you were cancelled, I do not think they really understand the anxiety have an op creates in people.
I really hope you do not have to wait too long for it to be re-arranged.

aww that's good to hear Mary89276. lets hope from there you get some good news and movement.
Not been on since they cancelled my operation on Friday 15th. However Monday 18th day operation was planned for received 2 calls apologetic that my operation cancelled inneryror and was classed as urgent and rescheduled now for Saturday (yes saturday) 6th feb. covid test on 3rd and isolation starts that day. After last time, until friday 5th at 5pm has passed then I know the next day operation happening.

I do hope everything goes smoothly from here. I had my first hip op done on a Saturday and that was three years ago so it is not abnormal. Covid does seem to rule at the moment.
