I had an appointment for next week for an operation. It's nothing major- a day case - and just finishing off what the surgeon didn't/couldn't do in a previous surgery.
I have made a lot of plans - cancelled other appointments, made arrangements for childcare etc.
But I then received a letter today informing me that due to unforeseen circumstances my planned operation has been cancelled. A little bit of an apology - and that new date will follow.
Does this happen often? I truly had no inkling that this would be the case. I got my date through last week, after waiting, and me badgering the waiting list staff. I assumed that all would go to plan.
