Unfortunate - So. Sharon spent weeks psyching herself up for this operation. She spent days organising things like child-care with relatives. I took a days leave from work at a value of approximately £100 and gave away £200 worth of disco bookings so I could look after the kids and be with her in hospital. I organised things at work so that I could look after the kids.
Then with just a half hour to go, the hospital cancelled her operation because they ran out of beds.
Arseburgers!
To be honest, I was fuming. I came incredibly close to ringing them and giving them a piece of my mind, not something I do particularly often. But where's the point? What can they do about it?
I had this whole, huge post planned in which I vented my spleen. I was planning to rant about the state of the NHS and the inconsiderate attitude that results in us being put out like this. But I didn't. I took 24 hours to think about it.
To be honest, free health care for everyone is not a privilege that you get everywhere. We've not had to pay extra for this operation and when you operate a national scheme like the NHS there has to be compromises, otherwise we'd all be paying through the nose in our taxes. Let's just hope that her next appointment comes off.
that's a nice rock!
