Operation Cancelled

I am so sorry about your op x

Aww that’s awful !! I’m so sorry to hear this 

OMG! So sorry to read this, I'm stunned - that is just terrible.

kind regards,
Steve

Oh Pepper i have just seen this ,you must be in such a mess ,after getting yourself all prepared mentally ,there i s nothing worst than the wait ,then for them to cancel an hour before 

You must be devastated. The NHS is on its knees. A&E last week had twenty ambulances outside. They were just stuck there. No bed available. A&E my daughter was there she said people were in wheelchairs on drips looking very poorly. 
The result of this is your surgery being cancelled! 
You can see the staff so demoralised by the shortages of staff since Brexit and dealing with Covid. 
My son works in Ireland and is working sixty hour weeks. It’s so worrying. 
But the human story is patients like you. 
Im so sorry.

sending you a hug 

Thanks all for your commiserations. Am back home and just recovering from the shock.  My hubby has just made me sausage and mash bless him. Anyway the mental waiting game starts again - what worries me is that this bloody nodule could be growing or even spreading the longer it goes on.. The other thing is I wouldn't want to be catching covid or flu given the high number of cases that are being admitted and especially after what is major surgery.

Any way watch this space

Your right in what you say Artsie - the nurses were lovely but are absolutely overwhelmed. I think they and the surgeon were as devasted as me. They are just not able to do the job they want to do and it must be so demoralising for them. I. don't blame any.of them for what is happening. They were having to discharge people who were clearly not well enough to go home and who will probably end up having to be readmitted. It's all a very viscous circle at the moment with no sign of it improving any time soon. All very frightening.

The only positive I can take from this experience is that I have had a rehearsal for the first process of being admitted. 

Trying to stay positive. 

Kind regards

Treat yourself to things you enjoy.

I can empathise with you. I had a huge wobble before my LAR I was an emergency and they booked the preop on a Saturday. When Saturday came around I had a phone call saying there was no pre op clinic. She said phone back Monday. My team weren’t available until Monday my op was booked for a six hours on Wednesday.  That weekend was a nightmare I felt just like you and I was paranoid that I’d block and have an emergency which would be a permanent stoma 

Anyway my surgeon stamped his feet rolled some heads and it all went through

Happy ending for me then 

I really hope they can arrange it quickly for you.

Take care xx 

You have my sympathy.  My surgery was postponed twice, once only a couple of days before it was scheduled.  A surgery which should have been done within 30 days of referral was ultimately done 5 months after referral.  It was a stressful time, for sure, and I did catch covid in hospital when the surgery was finally done.

I hope they'll be able to give you a new date soon and that things proceed as planned next time.

Thanks Artsie Ann

You obviously know the anxiety any ca cellation causes and glad to hear it worked out well for you in the end.

I shall try to concentrate on the positives and that they get me sorted as soon as possible and when it is safe to do the surgery. I'm sure my surgeon will do his best to get me sorted.

Take care. 

Kind regards
