Hi all. I hadn't seen this thread and the only reason didn't post yesterday is that I was having tests and interviews for a goodly part of the day with Surgeon, Anaesthetist, etc, etc, and the internet was dodgy as well. I just couldn't be bothrered to set my phone up as a hot spot for my lappie and took a chill. It was all systems go at 4PM and I was booked to go into theatre at 8AM this morning. The two days in there were in an isolation ward to scrub up and have minimum contact, to lessen the risks of mrsa and covid. I was all packed and ready for bed after(no laughing) being given an all over body shave and my 4th shower in 2 days, when I was told that the op was cancelled because there were no icu beds available. Gutted. This op was not a little one btw. I have called it a stent but it is much more. It is what they called a full Aorta endograft which was to be done in two stages over the next 4 months or so. Not without serious risk and it took a lot out of us, mentally and emotionally, coming to terms and preparing for the very worst outcome whilst hoping for the best one. Gotta do it all again now.
