My happy thought.... still got all of my foot, it was touch and go there for a moment. Although if they had taken it off I was going to get a dibber fitted to help my dad with the garden :)

Well I need to to have this as a happy thought otherwise I will just feel really down and I'm not willing to be as low as I was yesterday as I basically cried most of the day not only did this upset hubby but it angered and upset my eldest son seeing his Mum so upset, I'm just grateful the wee one did not witness my melt down.

Today I phoned and spoke to the consultants secretary and she said that this should not have happened and will be looking into this for me and will get back to me in regards to this matter. I did say to her that I have sent a email to paitient affairs manager stating that while I was and still am disappointed due to this error, it has also taken a bed that someone that could have benefited from never mind the cost to the NHS my operation cancellation has cost. I did state that the day surgery was brilliant and Mr xxxxx looked truly disappointed in sending a patient away and having to cancel basically within 5 minutes of going into the operating room.

I need to focus on that everyone is doing their best to get my operation done asap and pray that things will be sorted soon.

Probably start in the New Year, to give my current employers a chance to get a replacement in and do a proper handover.

My wife, as you may expect, is very pleased - it's not been an easy last six months for her, with me being away through the week; now, at least, she has an end date in sight.

However, until I get a signed contract, it's not 'real'...

@ den thank you.

@ nash I'm fine today and looking for the silver lining of yesterday's events and I've came up with one :) and that's at least I know what to expect on the day of my operation now example blood pressure taken, pre med given, etc so next time it should be less daunting and I will be prepared for disappointment should this situation happen again although I've prayed that it doesn't.

Yesterday morning I noticed that there was some water coming out of where our meter is in the footpath. Not actually running just damp. Southern water have just turned up to fix it and I hadn't even got round to calling it in.

Full marks to SW. :tu:
