Terrible news. Take it easy and hang out here; I like to think that we don’t tend to cause too many people to over-exert themselves physically around here. ;-).
Far too much of this going on these days. Hope you can get it done soon. What annoys me is “we won’t do the operation until you lose weight.” They forget we are no longer slim young active things on the go all the time. My friend is a size 14, That to me is fine for someone going on 70 and who has heart trouble so can’t exercise too much. She has been this size since we first met almost 40 years ago, she’s not fat at all. I think it’s a cost cutting exercise by the hospitals.
This happened to my husband when he was waiting for his knee replacement, in the end we complained to the hospital and ended up talking to the ombudsman, oddly suddenly they had a bed and a surgeon free the next week. Operation went ahead with no more delays. It might be worth trying that Omah CAB has all the information you need or you can google it yourself I think.
Many thanks - I may have to do that - it seems that I am at the top of the list for surgery (because of the delays), but bottom of the list for overnight accommodation (because my condition is minor and not life-threatening) …
I feel lucky and grateful that my cancer treatment has been quick and mainly trouble free but think that whatever is wrong with you, the treatment can be patchy depending on any number of factors.
I’m sorry you’ve had such a bad time of it and wish you all he best for some more speedy treatment.
Good deal. An early admission means your doctor and team are clear-headed, rested, and ready to go. Plus, you’ll be able to sleep the rest of the day away. Good luck!
