Thought it was eventually happening

"Thought it was eventually happening"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / General Surgery

(as the patient),

Had an appointment with my new surgeon this week and they were lovely.  Gave me loads of info and told me that I would have my operation by the end of the year.  I had to try to lose some weight but would go ahead either way.  Well I was on cloud 9 and so were my family and friends as I have been waiting over 2 years.  Yeeha.  Should have known better, got letter today.  My next outpatients appointment is February 2023.  Kicked in teeth again.  I didnt get it wrong as I had someone in with me who also heard what I heard.  I'm devasted as my life is currently terrible.  I'm on loads of medication.  Had to close my business as I'm unable to do the work and have no social life as I look ridiculous with 4 hernias.  Just seems 1 step forward and 200 back.  Looks like I'm in for the long haul again
