I was booked in for a Knee replacement this morning, did all the prep, was careful not to scratch my skin over the last week.
Arrive at the hospital, 9am, sit down with an admin, do all the paper work, wait some more, sit with a nurse to double check everything, she hands me the gown.
Another nurse appears, "Just hold it there, I'll be back"
5 minutes later I'm told it has been rebooked for the 9th of July.
I didn't ask questions, maybe it was an emergency
I got to go to the pub early.
You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.
Sounds like the wife six years ago, all prepped ready to go in to have a deep brain stimulator fitted, cancelled last minute due to surgeon called to an emergency. Head shaved, psyched for the op which is performed 80% whilst awake. Oh well, luckily it was only a fortnight’s delay.
Good luck with the knee.
