Well what a farce. I had an appointment with the surgeon on Thursday, up at St. Georges. He asked me how I was after the heart attack, then realised that we didn't have a cardiac report ok'ing me for the op. Talk about disappointed. How will I get an appointment at the hospital with a cardiac Dr in the next couple of weeks to get a check up to make sure I'm fit for surgery. It takes nearly 3 weeks to get an appointment with my own GP for a sore throat let along to see a specialist. If I don't get it sorted out the op date will be cancelled and a new date will have to be made for after I've been seen.
I have to say that the surgeon was great about it saying he would phone the cardiac Dr who saw me and hopefully he will be able to arrange for me to be seen quickly. I did have an ECG a few weeks ago as I told you in my last post, but I don't suppose that will count for anything. I've also rang to speak to my GP who originally referred me for the surgery. Didn't get to talk to her of course but I did leave a message with the receptionist asking her if she could possible get me an urgent appointment seeing as my op date was Nov 7th.
What a hash up eh. I wouldn't mind but I've had to wait since last Nov to get to this point again and I could have done all this already had I known I needed too. Ah well nothing more I can do, and its no good getting myself over stressed and in a paddy over it so I will have to wait and see what happens. Will let you know as soon as I hear anything. I've got my Pre Op appointment on the 6th Oct. not sure if its even worth going to it now. xxx
