surgery postponed

The surgery was supposed to be next Wednesday 12th

It has been postponed to 26th. 2 weeks later 😩

I’m going through the public system & apparently there are no beds. My stress levels are through the roof & now this longer wait.

  • oh bugger, Ann58​ !  That's a bit of a blow!!  I wonder if they'll ring next week & bring it forward again!  

    Why not give the Helpline a bell, to have a chat? ....
    I reckon they'll help reduce your stress levels xx

    OK ... get your thinking cap on ..... what can you do to keep yourself busy in the next 2 weeks??  Try & do something different every day!  xx

    It may even be warmer by the time you get to the hospital too!  That'll be a bonus, I reckon!  I am mid coast NSW - and it is freezing just now - with a really cold spell hitting on Sun/Mon!

    take care

      I doubt if they will bring it forward. 🥹 but it is what it is. Things happen for a reason. 
      I’m in Blue Mts so it’s freezing atm. 
      I can garden & go walk a labyrinth at our Cancer Wellness centre.
      This just does not help my anxiety & CPTSD much 🥺 I had a huge session yesterday with my counsellor to prepare myself for the surgery & will now have to prob pay for another. 
      I’m feeling sorry for myself 

      stay warm up there! I love the mid north coast 🐚

        OMG!  I can imagine how cold it is up there just now!!
        My grandparents had a place up there in the 50/60s and the eiderdowns were about 1ft deep, filled with down!!  My brothers went to Blue Mountains Grammar!!

        We normally don't get TOO cold here, but this week is 'testing it'!!!

        How far away from Katoomba are you!!  Check out the Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival they have there, 2nd weekend in Feb 2027!! 
        Let me know if you might drop in!  I might just see you there!  😉. We can catch up for a coffee!
