I send all good thoughts to your Mum and wish her a speedy recovery.

I send all love and good wishes to you and your Mum angelic

All my best wishes for your Mum

Thanks folks Just crossing my fingers they find a bed for her as I'm not sure she could bear going through all this worry again

Stupid hospitals

I also send my best wishes.

Lots of love and best wishes for your Mum Angel

Very best wishes to your mum angelica

Thanks again everyone but bad news She has been sent home as there are no beds. She is quite upset as she had kind of psyched herself up for it and now she isn't sure when it is even going to happen.

She is on her way up so I have just put the baby to bed to give her peace for an hour and I'll try and cheer her up

Best wishes and a bigfor your mum, Angelic.
Bigfor you, too.

Just read your post ^^^^^ Angelic. It is terrible that they get people wound up like a watch, then cancel the op at the last minute.
Another hug for your mum.

Aww I'm sure you'll cheer her up angelicarwen, she'll get there in the end hope they dont mess her around any more <- for both of you

Awwww! That is terrible Angelic....hope she has her op very soon

hoping your mum soon has her op and is quickly on the road to recovery

awww a big  for your mum and hope she gets it over with very soon!

oh Arwen ..... your poor mum - I'd be the same.. I'm terrified of hospitals (a result of having worked in one!)

Only thing I can say is that if there isn't a surgical bed free its usually because they have had to admit a trauma case through A&E.   If it were medical (non surgical) then its usually because of "bed blockers" (people who do not have the support at home to be able to leave).

Its only a small small comfort... but its not usually because of an admin error or procedure, but usually because someone has had a serious accident and been admitted. xxx

Awww I hope you mammy has her operation soon and is back on the road to recover   agrees with everything Ditty said .

Sending every good wish your mum's way Angelica.... hope everything goes well for her when she does have the op Mr Baz op was put off just before Xmas, so I know how you psych yourself up for it..... hopefully your mum won't have to wait too long

Isn't it lousy when someone gears themselves up for an operation only to be told to go home again.  Hope she gets another date soon Arwen and all goes well,

That word Bed Blockers drives me nuts Ditty.  It's like they are doing it on purpose. ( (I know you didn't mean it that way and only used it because that's what it's called in the business).  They are usually old people who have no one at home to look after them.  It's so sad.  The people who used this word first will be old themselves some day.

Awww.....big loves to the angelic one's momma....xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hope they reschedule it soon... crap that they cancelled when she was all ready though Hope you have managed to cheer her up

I know....  and its only used when discussing overall bed capacity...  I do agree that a better term could be used... perhaps one that isn't actually referring to the patient.  But it is the term that's used...   & its not applied in a personal sense.

Aww thanks everyone. She took it really well and seems happier. She has gone home for something to eat and an early night. Has been up since 6.

Thanks for being so nice

Hope your Mum gets the Op soon Angel.  Big hugs. x

Hi Angel, what a bugga getting all psyched up for the op and having to come home. Have they indicated when she'll go in again?

Nah! She spoke to her surgeon and as it's quite intricate surgery she wants to do it herself rather than put her in the pool for any surgeon to do it so just as soon as she has an opening.

She said she would try and clear some space for her So fingers crossed.

Here's hoping it's soon.. and it's good the surgeon wants to do it herself, eh? x
