That was me this morning awaiting my surgery, then 4 hours later - Sorry Mr X , but we have had to cancel, as there isn't a bed available in the Intensive Care Unit. I'm really gutted, although I haven't actually had any more bits cut out yet!
It's rather ironic, as the procedure had been brought forward a day, which was great, one less day to wait - wrong, now they are promising me next Tuesday, as a top priority for the resources required. But after today, I fear best intentions could still be thwarted!
Whilst hugely disappointed, after having psyched myself up for the impending ordeal, I actually found myself feeling sorry for the surgical team. They had tried all morning to resolve the problem without success, and then had to come and deliver the bad news to me. I think they were almost as upset about it a I was. I'd seen all the team members, who were all there for me, who presumably had a wasted morning as nothing for them to use their specialist skills on. Such a shame.
Ohh KidneyBeen. What a bummer. Really feel for you after all the prep. I hope all goes well for you next Tuesday. Best wishes.
