I have now been home for a couple of hours; my trip to the hospital did not go according to plan. After checking in and meeting my named nurse I went through the usual routine, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and the all the questions that they have asked many times before. I spent the next 4 hours lying on a hospital waiting for my turn to go under the knife. Only to be told that they would have to cancel my operation due to my surgeon being called away on an emergency.
I fully understand the situation and am not really unhappy about it, but they have now booked me a new date the 23rd, it was that other wise they couldn’t give a date so it looks like being a great Christmas for me. Emergency happen and they can’t do anything about, but me and the lady in the bed next to me who was also sent home are just a little disappointed.
