Can you believe I got a call at lunchtime today - cancelling dd1's surgery ( was to be next wednesday)!!!!
Okay there is an emergency case and I appreciate they take priority - have been in that patient's shoes with dd1 and even myself
BUT
argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! cross and frustrated - just want these bloody tonsils and adenoids out - and be done with it. The sleep apnoea is really playing havoc with her sleeping at the moment. She is constantly tired and grumpy and I am tired of being on the receiving end of it......
Amazingly we have kept her so healthy and ready for surgery only to have this happen AGAIN!!
The lady in bookings did say well at least I would not have to attend pre-admission clinic AGAIN!! I should bloody well hope not - been there twice already - signed the consent forms, read the literature been told of the risks TWICE....
I just need her to be operated ON!!
So we go back to normal life - school holidays come to an end on Monday and dd1 starts sn kindy again and very first day at mainstream kindy and then has two weeks off!!!!
It could have all been over and done with by now.. or at least in two and a bit weeks.
We have to wait at least 3 weeks now for a surgery date unless ( highly unlikely) someone is cancelled!! And I have to psych myself up all over again... perhaps third time is the charm - it means unlike her cardiac surgery she will have no complications and heal in no time and be brilliant..... ( i live in hope!)
Thank you for listening to my rant.
