Another year passes...

So where are we...

Ah yes well the out come so far... my lig is busted, in fact it is not even a strand to be seen anywhere. I told the consultant yes, I would like to proceed with the op. This was in around the summer of 2008 and after waiting a few weeks I called up to check where I was on the waiting list. Well the answer was simple enough. I wasn't even down on the list. Now this call seem to spur things into action and I got a pre-op date for either Sept or Oct 08 which I attended. I expected a dealy as they had to check my medial records. I called after a few weeks (I keep saying a few, but in fact I call about 10 days later) and I still was not on the waiting list. Once again this spur the hozzi into action and I was finally there.

It is now November 08 and I was still waiting to here about an op date. Around the end of Nov 08 I get a phone call asking if I would go to a hospital in Sheffield to have the op done earlier or stay on the waiting list. Well after nearly 1.5 years, I opted for the Sheffield Hospital.

Dec 08 I get a letter from the Sheffield hospital... it is a private hozzi to boot! I had to attend a meeting with the consultant In Jan 09. Hurra! Progress at last!

Jan 09, I attended the meeting. Lovely grounds, clean hospital and friendly staff. After a brief wait, I jumped the queue because a patient did not turn up. I get put through my paces and ding-dang-doolie I've got a date... end of Feb 09. Ah well at least my boss could rest easily as there was a project to be delievered around that time. I say was... but thats another story.

I'll update after the op, God willing, while I'm stuck in bed recovering.
