My daughter was booked to have an operation 6 weeks ago, was cancelled the night before and it has just happened again tonight, lots of preparation and sacrifices (cancelled driving test, delaying new job start, not booking trips with friends that would clash etc) husband works away and has come home twice for a week at a time, doesnt get paid if not in work, I am self employed and have twice booked out time to be caring for her in recovery
We were heading out to get her something nice to eat before nil by mouth started, bags packed (mine and hers as ill be staying with her), dog sitters sorted etc etc
Its such a horrible, helpless feeling, even though, the reason (not enough intensive care beds) is understandable, I cant comprehend keep going through this over and over again.
Do you think theres any chance they will take seriously the inconvenience and emotional upset to a young girl and put something in place to have it rebooked quickly or are we just back in the queue?
