Another operation at King’s hospital this Thursday for the ‘carotid balloon occlusion test’ has been cancelled with 2 days to go!

Someone from Kings called me at  3.15pm to say the operation was cancelled again and again giving the reason that they didn’t have a bed for me on Thursday.

A date for the main op still can’t be put into the diary until we have the results from this test, so it’s seems it just a waiting game for the time being and life just carries on as normal!

I received a letter yesterday giving me a new provisional date of next Thursday 17 October, for the ‘carotid balloon occlusion test’. This will be at Kings hospital. I will also need to attend next Monday for a pre-op when I should hopefully find out more information about what to expect on the day.

Thanks again for all your support and prayers.

After expecting to go into Kings tomorrow for the day, for the ‘carotid balloon occlusion test’ they have just cancelled the op at 4pm this afternoon, not happy!

I have chased the hospital all week to get details of when I need to go in and the school has also been great in allowing Sue to have the day off to come with me. After hearing nothing all day, I called the hospital at 3.45pm this afternoon to ask what’s going on, for them to call me back 10 minutes later to tell me the operation tomorrow have been cancelled, giving the reason they didn’t have a bed for me tomorrow and that the doctor woulds call me in the next couple of days to rearrange it.

As you might image I’m just a little bit annoyed! I’ll let you know as soon as I know more.
