I imagine that seeing / posting those pics was quite confronting for you. The event must have been dreadful.

Hope your recovery continues. No shame in leaning on people and asking for help. You have been through a lot.

Yep, had the same a few years ago, but "just" for an endoscopy.

Difference was I'd been there since 10.30 for a 1pm slot, done all the checking in, changed into the gown, & been sitting in the lounge for a few hours before being told at 3pm that something had happened so the Doctor wouldn't be able to do me, please ring his rooms & rebook :-\

The nurse also said always go for morning bookings, because they usually work, but the later in the day, the more chance that something will break, another procedure goes over time etc so you get bumped >:(

Smiling is the only thing I can do.
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.

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.
