Hi @Karenth,
Sorry you have to go through the "waiting", & yes, it can tire you out, listen to your body and if you need to, just rest.
It's especially hard over the holidays when the doctors and specialists are all away, I hated the waiting for everything.
Can you get your GP to try speak to your surgeon to "hurry" the operation along at all?
Sometimes the CP's can help I've found. But not always., worth a try.
Anyway, sending you a hug, hope all goes well, plenty of support here on this forum.
