Not happy! :mad:
My operation was cancelled!!! :irked: Just as I was about to leave to catch the bus down to the hospital, a six hour drive by bus, the hospital rings up and says the op was cancelled due to..........."Not having the necessary tools for the operation!" What the.....????? Bit of an excuse you reckon?? :lol: Beyond their control too! yeah right!

I now have to wait for who knows how long again......:rant:

Just for that....EVERYONE get a TSK --> :tsk: :tsk :tsk:

Was basically going to type what Alan just did.. maybe a piece of the equiptment that was going to be used in the procedure was damaged in some way and they are waiting for a repacement. We want everything to be in tip top shape when they are working with you :) At least this way, you will be able to spend a little more time with your family and your friends here on the xchange. My thoughts will be with you. {{}}

I agree with Val... they maybe got my letter threating all sorts of wicked things like demonic killer koalas if they do their job right so they're scrambling to make sure everything is perfect ;) :* :ghug:

Sorry to hear that Shei. Must be rough on ya to keep getting ready for something and then having it postponed again. :ghug:

Sounds like the efficiency of a New Zealand hospital! That sucks Shei. I suppose it's just as well they notified you before you left, rather than waiting for you to turn up before giving you the news!

Sorry to hear it got cancelled:( , well at least postponed. It sucks getting mentally prepared for something so huge, then getting let down and having to start all over again.:rolleyes: But, on the other hand, you certainly do want them to have the "right tools" when they go about it.;)

Shei, I'm really sorry to hear about the postponement of your surgery. But, it's better that they be completely prepared than to get you opened up and not have the necessary equipment to complete the surgery. :eek:

Anyway, I hope you can get it rescheduled in a timely manner. {{{HUGS}}}

I don't know why, Shei, but I had this strange feeling it would be cancelled. I'm sorry to hear it was.

That really sucks, Shei! I'm sorry to hear it. Oh, well. You still have all of my positive vibes heading in your direction. :)

:D I love it when people agree with me!! But....I haven't said anything yet. :lol: ;)

Sorry to hear you're back on the waiting list!! It's a shame you can't afford to fly to a different country to get this done as soon as possible! :(

I could be in by the end of next week or the week after. Apparently, the suppliers of some of the equipment were taking their time with some stuff too! Which is why I had to be cancelled. The hospital thought that the rest of the equipment would be here before I had to go down.....Gee, you think they would have it there before they call you down eh? :irked:

I'll let you all know know when I go.....AGAIN!!! :D

Thanks for your support and love guys! :ghug: :*

I can't quite believe this is happening :( it has been months and months waiting now. You sure are a brave girl for waiting so patiently, though I know it's probably wearing thin.
Hang in there sheibubby :wave:
