Totally devastated
Posted , 9 users are following.
I wrote before about last lap to Friday 13th. Having got my bag packed and geared up to drive over to Manchester tomorrow, I have just had a phone call to cancel my op. I know it can happen and an emergency will take priority, but you really get yourself geared up ready and I feel totally deflated. Date changed to 9 December - that will mess Christmas up. I thought the timing had been pretty good with six weeks to Christmas.

I know it's difficult right now, but I always try to work on the basis that everything happens for a reason. I'm sure that there's a perfectly valid reason for the cancellation, but that's cold comfort to you right now.
Try and have a good sleep, then get your Christmas shopping head on!
Take care, and you can always message me if you want a private rant xx

By the way I'm nearly 8 weeks post op and my lovely husband has booked us Christmas in a 5 star hotel and I'm not even limping now!

The final thing was that I had a letter from the hospital yesterday with my reporting instructions for 9th December, plus a second letter saying I now need another pre op assessment because out of time. This will be the third pre op I will have had for this operation. Would not mind if I was still local but a two hour trip each way for an MRSA and blood test is not good!
Actually some of you had said get christmas shopping done. I was so organised this year. Christmas dinner is coming from M&S, already ordered down to the gravy so day could be more enjoyable. Christmas cards and presents all bought - the cards ready for me to write when I am sitting with my feet up after op. ~Freezer full ready for op. Even have a menu and shopping list for family day on Boxing Day - 9 of us. I will not now be doing it on my own - daughter and cousin will help. Can't believe I am so sorted by beginning of November. Even bought the frozen peas!!!
