Had an early start this morning, setting off at 6 am to drive back from Cornwall, back in town at noon. Client wants me to test out some boards before tomorrow. But tomorrow I'll have another early start to be in Leatherhead at 8:30 so can't even have a small lie-in to catch up sleep. No rest for the wicked. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just make sure you get a good rest at the end of it all old bean.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm so upset at the moment. I have just phoned the hospital about my gallbladder op and I have now been told that the deadline they gave is looking like it will not be met so that means it will be after November needless to say I have been in tears this morning due to this update and now I don't know what to do. The way I see it is I have three options first one being stay quiet and hope for the best or two go to my GP and see if they can hurry things along or my third option would be to contact the patient affairs manager. I really do not what to do but one thing I do know is I can't stand the thought of suffering from these attacks and they seem to be getting more frequent and lasting longer each time and the pain now seems to be lasting for hours and the being sick part does not relieve the pain at all. Sorry about the rant but I'm just so upset at the thought of this.

I just wish I had the money to go private as the pain is that bad! This is the first time I have felt let down by the NHS and I know I should feel lucky that I will get the operation done but the pain is awful, I suppose I'm just feeling rather down and sorry for myself atm.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l am very sad to hear this weenie but sadly this is happening more and more in that operations are being delayed and delayed as l myself have experienced delays until my op was done in August.

l hope and pray that it is sorted out sooner rather then later for you as no one likes people to suffer pain for any period.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope they get you sorted ASAP

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As my wife found out weenie, if NHS can't provide the service required they use a local private hospital to carry out the procedure as required.
Hope you manage to get sorted soonest.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l went to my ICD clinic earlier today and they checked my ICD and also my heart and the ICD is working very smoothly but las my own heart is still beating too fast so they have started me on a new medication today and hopefully that will sort it out in due time touch wood.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hope it does the trick!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'd be having a word with the consultant's secretary and explaining the situation you're in with the frequent and increasing pain etc. via an email so it's on the record and not able to be 'forgotten' about. With the best will in the world, there's no way they can know how badly each patient is doing whilst on the waiting list and I'm sure they won't want to take the risk that this develops into severe pancreatitis having been warned in advance. Look at it this way, if you have a really bad attack you could well wind up in A&E like I did and then they'd quite possibly have to act as an emergency. I'm sure you're trying to be brave for your family but you do need to inform them that your situation is worsening so that they can hopefully get you in as soon as possible. I know exactly how you feel and my thoughts are with you weenie. :hugs: :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes l hope it does the trick dilli as my cardiac nurse phoned up later this afternoon as l saw her early last week and she said then my heart was beating too fast then and thus then sent two messages to my surgery asking for a GP to contact her promptly but sadly no one contacted her from my surgery and thus l ended up in A&E on Saturday night so she is far from happy with my surgery at the moment as since the merging of the two surgeries she said complaints from patients have increased quite a bit.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope they get you sorted this time
