Arrived at Blackpool Hospital this morning at 08.30am after a restless night. In the waiting room a patient told me the surgeons were having problems with the camera on the robot. He eventually was escorted to Theatre at 10.30 am. The surgeon then came to see me and said the technical issues were resolved but unfortunately because I was third and last on the list they would not be able to operate on me today.mmmm. He was very pleasant and apologetic and rescheduled my operation on the spot for 06.00 am on Monday 30th November.
Oh no! Garviv o am sorry to hear of the delay to surgery. You get yourself all mentally prepared for the day, and I can imagine you didn’t sleep much. What a bummer. Fingers crossed it goes more smoothly on the 30th.
