I got a call on Monday 16th to say my operation for the 23rd has been cancelled because, and get this:
My consultant and his assistant are not booked to be in the hospital that day. Despite his secretary booking that date. I have two theories:
1. They never intended to operate on me that day, and just gave a date to shut me and my GP up.
2. They just have piss poor (excuse the pun) organisational skills.
Maybe both.
It's now been re-scheduled for September 13th.
I was angry and upset, but not totally surprised. I'm past the anger for now, it's not productive, and won't get me seen any quicker. However, next time I'm in such pain I consider calling an ambulance, I won't hesitate and try to cope all by my lonesome, I'll just call them out.
I have my new mobile phone now with all it's wizardry and gadgets - I'm just trying to figure out how to use the ruddy thing! Once I've figured that out I should be able to blog from hospital using my phone.
I'll post again when I go in.
