Hi - hospital been on to change Johns appointment until Thursday 27th, this is just becomming an emotional nightmare! Oh well, hopefully they won't have to change it again

Love

Karen
 
So sorry, we went through this before my sons surgery, we have been told in the last couple of years that my son needs surgery, then he doesn't so many times, i have lost count. Dont think they realise how much stress that they put you under. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, that they stick to a date and John can get on the road to recovery, best of luck Paula x
 
Sorry to hear the date keeps moving. I know what an emotional rollercoaster ride it must be. Hang in there. I hope this is the last time the date is changed. Best wishes.
 
Hi Karen, it must be stressful having the date pushed around like that.
My surgery date was Oct.13....so the hospital calls on the 10th and they are asking me to come in immediately so they could operate on the 11th. That suited me just fine.....2 days less to be nervous.
Best wishes, it will happen soon.
 
I'll change the present date on the calendar, and then wait until we hear more about the new surgery date. (I'm assuming the 27th is the appointment?)
 
Wow, I am sorry that you have to go through this. They sort of did this to Brian as well. His doc had knee surgery the day before Brian's scheduled date and thought that he would be fine to stand for 11 hrs! He wasn't and it got put off a couple of days.
How is John handling the waiting? Unfortunately, there isn't much that you can do but try to stay busy.
Feel free to vent your feelings here anytime. We are here for you.
 
Thanks everyone!

John is taking it better than I am, in fact he asked "does this mean I get to have another party?"

Apparently his surgeon's wife was poorly and he needed to cancel all his patients. I fully understand these things happen and appreciate the need to change the appointment but it just seems to keep happening.

So the situation at the moment is that John will go to the heart ward on Weds 26th in the morning and the surgery will be the following morning on the 27th - but we are not holding our breath! In fact, I think I will not answer my phone anymore......

Will keep you all updated and once again thanks for all your kind words.

Love Karen
