I know just how you feel Weenie. The pre-assessment will only be valid for a certain period of time (12 weeks IIRC) after which it will have to be re-done if the surgery hasn't taken place so they'll be keen to get on with it I imagine. I'm sure the nurse will be able to give you some idea of what the timescales are in your hospital. In my case, I also had to have a certain blood test in the week prior to surgery so that may need to be arranged for you too. Depending on how long it turns out to be, in your position I'd certainly contact the hospital periodically to see whether they've had any cancellations. That's exactly what I did. Hope it goes well.
