Hi Everyone, I just got a phone call from the hospital to let me know that my surgeon has had to take emergency leave for personal reasons so my surgery scheduled for Friday has had to be cancelled. I am really upset but theres nothing I can do. The hospital will get in touch with me as soon as they know whats happening and I will probably get short notice that the operation is going ahead whenever my surgeon returns to work. Will keep you all posted xx
Big Hugs
Jean xx

    Hi Weejean

    How infuriating!! We know that the surgeons and doctors are only human and these things happen but it is still a real blow when it does. I hope that they manage to get you set up again quickly and that all goes well for you

    Regards

    Oh no. That is a shame but he is only human and things do crop up when least expected. I hope you hear something from them soon, and that you can have your op sooner rather than later. I wish you well. DD

    I am so sorry, but it must be bad for the surgeon to have to cancel. Not that it's making you feeling any better. Let's hope it wont be long before he is back, and you are in.

    Oh Jean after all the build up too. These things do happen but nevertheless it does upset everyone. I hope your surgeons problems are easily sorted for him as he must feel upset at letting you down too.
    Hang on in there and fingers crossed you will have a definite date to aim for soon.

    Hugs,
    I x
