The doors on my jehovhas witness advent calendar won't open
"You're an angel." I said to my wife, as I shoved the Christmas tree up her arse.
Really, really angry about this mate. No I haven't. Through no fault of mine, it has been cancelled. A huge f**k up by the admissions Dept. What happened was, I was given the time of 10.30am to be on the ward on Wednesday. The letter clearly stated the time and date. It also said that I could have a "light breakfast" before 7am, which I did. At 8.00am the ward sister phoned me asking where the hell I was!! She ranted and raved saying I should have been there at 7.30am and now the surgeon is annoyed because I didn't turn up! Then the anaesthetist came on the phone and asked me if I'd eaten anything. Of course, I said. The letter stated that I could. Well, we can't do the surgery, he snapped! Jeez! I was made to feel as if it was all my fault! I had the appointment letter at the start of November, and get this.. they also sent me a text reminder two days prior, to let me know that I had to be on the ward at 10.30!! I have started a complaints procedure and should receive some news today. I'll keep you posted.you had your op H?

Hospital phoned this morning admitting everything was their fault. Apparently, my surgeon was fuming because he had set up a few things because of my health history, e.g. a bed on the Critical Care Unit, a heart consultant at the ready etc. He now knows it wasn't my fault. They even asked me to choose a date that suited me! So it's now Jan 8th. About 4 weeks breathing space!fucks sake H, that's shit.
Any news on a reschedule?
