I got a call this morning from my Surgeons Secretary. She assured me I had not been forgotten. and that I am on the list . But  she had no dates yet. Armed with this news, I  got  hold of  The Hospital . I said I have just had a call regarding my Op, Yes she said they were  checking  up  to see if you were on our list, which you are. I said do you  not have a date yet. No  , it will be end of June or July at best.

I said look I am  between a rock and a hard place here. I am my wifes carer , she has begun her Chemo regime and I really need this at the earliest date . What can you do for me. She said I have an emergency  just  come in  now. I will  get back to you.

I thought OK maybe in a couple of days time. But 20 mins later she rang me back. She said I can fit you in for 20th June that’s the best I can offer , will you take that. I said yes please. The proviso is should an emergency  come in I may get cancelled and put back a week or 2 did I understand that. Yes no problems. OK she said we will see you then.

See what you can do if you try.

At 2;30 It’s off to cardiac nurse./ My god she is so thorough. She goes through everything Pulse blood pressure sitting  and standing then rest and re-do it all again. Questions questions questions. She is concerned  that my BP is a bit high but my pulse is far to low.

she has to balance my  pulse with my BP and my history  of exposure with asbestos . Some of my medication should not have been given to me with that exposure.

I have been short of breath  . That is down to  the change in pills. so that’s  sorted. my dizziness is sorted. So a review of my pills again. A new appointment  to see me before my  op. If my GP had been this thorough I probably would not have been on all my pills in the first place.

My new Blood pressure kit has just arrived. Gosh it is a bit technical.
