New date for my op

Hi all, well yesterday I phoned the lung nurse at one hospital who had given me her card to ask if you could give the surgeon a poke! Lo and behold this afternoon I got a phone call offering me a date for my op. 
I will be going in on the 18th September and having my op on the 19th.  So I have rearranged my flu jab for October and got the dog an appointment on Friday at the vets for a dental check up. He had to have them scaled and polished 3 months ago and was due for a check up. Insurance for pets being what it is, if you miss something like that they can refuse to pay for treatment for the same problem again later. As I found out before, thankfully the vets sorted it out with them as I had been I’ll at the time and left it. I needed the appointment this week so that I can be pretty sure I won’t have caught another dose of Covid to cancel the op. So it looks like I am all sorted again now.

I expect I will start to panic again as the date gets closer, but I have got to try really hard to stay calm this time.

love and hugs

  • I really really hope your hospital carries on as scheduled.  

  • I’m glad your op is going ahead. It is wrong to cancel peoples operations because of the Queens funeral 

    Best wishes xxx

    Thinking of you on Monday.

  • Hi Maggie, You must be relieved and I think the hospital will be discharging as many people as possible over the weekend so that the staff who are working aren't run off their feet. I hope all goes well and I hope to hear on Sunday that you are settling in the hospital, ready for your op on Monday.

    I am booked in to have my 5th Covid booster on Monday at 18.05. I phoned the helpline on Friday, hoping to book another date before we go on holiday. However I was told the injection would go ahead on Monday as they come under critical services. I was very surprised.

    As you say, the NHS staff always seem to go above and beyond their job remit! God bless them all!
