The PINK FLAMINGO is in TEARS

julie47

Oh dear peeps :sad:

As you all know I am still waiting for the first part of my operation. (neck)

Well I went on the 23rd of june and was told by my surgeon that it had to be done in 3 weeks and if it hadn't been done I had to chase it up. Well I did ring 3 week later to be told it would be more likely august. :shock:

After sitting and pondering I have AGAIN plucked up courage to ring and ask where I am on the list.

"ah yes you have a provisionary date" (think that was the word)

"oh i said, I can feel my heart thudding"

" why?" she said

"well you are about to give nme a date"

AH yes......3rd OCTOBER

I then said oh dear thats a long way away, my appointment is urgent. I had all my pre ops done on the 23rd.
Everyones opp is urgent she told me.
I then questioned about the pre op being out of date.

They will all have to be done again :x

She is going to speak to the surgeon (mmmmmm) and see what he says.

I have left it in her hands.....hopefully she WILL come back with a better date, but he is going on his hols for a couple of weeks too.

I feel well and truly c**p and at the moment I just want (ooops I am) to cry. :sad:

Love Juliepf xx

Oh Julie Julie Julie :sad:

The blighters

I am so upset myself lsitening to this saga.

Why on earth do the pre-op that soon for NOTHING???

3rd October still seems such a long way off maybe the surgeon WILL say 'this one is urgent' when she speaks to him. i do so hope so for your sake.



Hope these tissues help and this hug as well.

Love

Toni xx :sad:

Oh no. Julie, I am so, so sorry. What a horrible shock. The blasted surgeons do not live in the real world at all, do they? I guess yours has said the same to everyone he has seen, and not thought much about the practicalities of fitting said people into a schedule. Berk. Pillock. Twerp.
I don't do these often, so bear with me in case it all goes mammaries up.



I am thinking of you. DD

oh how awful! I don't think they realise sometimes how they're decissions affect us and those around us! I'm so sorry-I'd be crying too! Hopefully by the time you read this you will feel a little brighter.I really hope it comes together for you soon-sending a not too tight hug and my very best wishes.

I am so sorry to read this, it must be so stressful and emotionally draining. I hope the surgeon is able to get you in soon.

Thinking of you x

Oh Julie that is so not fare, after all the stress of waiting for the promised phone call or letter. You must feel as if your life is on hold. It is such a shambles why put people through the pre op if they cannot sort out the waiting list? No wonder you feel like crying, I would too.
They should know how upsetting this is for people and get their department sorted.
Gentle hugs,
Lv, I x

Morning Toni DD Mig tj66 suzygirl Ironic chris and hileena

Thank you all for your support. I do feel a bit better today although I didn't sleep too good, head was still in a spin.
And I still do secretly hope that they might just fit me in before. But hey, if not.....I will aim for that date. (will have to start looking for richards birthday present as his birthday is 6th oct)

It did me good to tell you forum friends and everyone else who knows me I had a dry throat after all my chatting yesterday

Well it's a lovely day here so today I am going to do a bit of ironing, then have a cuppa with one of the butterfly buns I made yesterday then paint a picture. That will keep me busy

I hope you all have a good day
and thankyou once again for being there for me

love juliepf x

Glad to see Julie has got upset, vented, talked it through, slept on it and is now pretty well ok

I was quite upset to say the least on your behalf myself Julie.

Sticky I am fine thankyou for asking. I have been keeping my self busy by baking,painting (picture) tidying and ......spending :oops:

Got to stop the baking though as it has been delicious and thats not good for the figure (mine or richards). It has all gone now so will start again cutting down on the sugar.


take care everyone and I hope you all have a good weekend.
Love Juliepf x

suzygirl

Glad to hear you are a little better. Any spare baking, please send my way!!! Can't beat homemade cakes!!!! As you say, not good for the waist line at all, they have to eaten before they go off

stickywicket

You have a good weekend too, Julie.

Except for special occasions, Mr SW & I gave up on the sweet stuff a month or two back due to expanding waistlines. It was that or the wine. No contest.

Take care.

Hi Julie

madwestie

Julie, sorry I am a bit late replying I am keeping maddie's paws crossed(I can't do my fingers anymore) that they fit you in sooner
All your baking sounds lovely, what sort of pictures do you paint I love the thought of painting it is top of my list of things to do when I retire.

I am glad you are feeling better and although oct seems a long way off and I really hope you get seen sooner it will come round quite quickly.

Sending you a hug

Tracey and maddie (who keeps falling over trying to walk with her paws crossed)
