Oh Diamond,
I'm so sorry this has happened to you
To have gotten to the day before surgery to be told it's cancelled is so unfair. :roll: you have every right to scream :!:
I now that we are always told that 'elective surgery' such as ours will always have to take second place to emergencies.... but that doesn't make the disappointment any easier to manage. :roll:
so sorry...... I hope they contact you very soon with another date.
(((hugs)))

Diamond I am so sorry to read this
It is terrible when you have prepared yourself mentally for your operation and all other plans have been put into place.
I don't really know what else to say except that I hope you get another date very soon and next time it goes ahead.
Take care

Oh diamond I am so sorry, I can only imagine how you are feeling..if only those in charge had to go through the same this wouldn't happen.
Im glad to see you are feeling calmer...gods know what I would be like.
You take care and I hope it happens very soon xxLove

I'm sorry too, diamond. I've never had an op cancelled but I know I'd hate it. It must be particularly galling as your husband had taken time off work to look after you. (Maybe you could treat it as a trial run and let him look after you anyway ) Let's know when to resume pocket duties, won't you?If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

That must be soo annoying because you prepare mentally for it dont you so to be cancelled the day before must be like a right slap in the face full on! Hope you can get another date soon...

Oh Diamond, I am so sorry, it is a bitter blow for you and your husband. Nothing worse than preparing yourself then to have to come back to earth with a bump.
I do hope the delay is a short one.
Gentle hugs,

What a shame Diamond! I was just looking for your thread to hop in your pocket and saw this.
I know how you feel because my TKR was cancelled last year. I'd even been prepared for surgery with the black arrow on my leg and just before they took me to theatre they did last minute obs and found I had a temperature so I was sent home. I did have a cough too though.
If it makes you feel any better they were pretty fast with arranging a bed once my cold had gone.
Let us know when you get a new date.
Luv,Love, Legs x

Oh Diamond, I'm so sorry that your op's been cancelled, the others are right it really sucks when that happens! I hope they get another date very soon for you so you don't have to go through all the nerves and getting mentally prepared for it again.0
