My dad called me early this morning, well at about 8am. He had been up since 6am being prepared for surgery. He sounded nervous and tired.
Mum just called and said that the operation was in fact "meant to have been tomorrow", so all the tests and psyching up and eating nothing, has been for nothing. Fucking stressful for a 79-year-old man.
It's really fucking ridiculous.
Hope it goes well for him when it does happen.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sanddancer.
ReplyDeleteUh oh.I have seen this happen a lot to patients my college hospital and could not help feeling annoyed.They are made to starve all day and wait with bate breath and then phat! postponed to next day.
ReplyDeleteBut there are valid reasons most of the time,when you look from the management point of view.
Hope it works out tomorrow.Take care dear.Good luck to him!
Yes, I think there must have been a good reason – I have to have faith in that. The staff at the hospital seem like a great bunch from what I have seen, and the consultants leave me in awe, generally speaking.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your wishes, Sameera.
