"waiting for operation"

About: St James's University Hospital

I went to St James hospital on the 12TH November 2014 in pain and was told I had kidney stone, waited 13 hours on assessment ward on a trolley in pain and vomiting , then sent to word 42 to be sent home following day , was told that I would get an operation date soon which was the following week 18th Nov they fitted a stent and told me I would need a operation to blast the stone in two weeks , I got a date two weeks later 17th Dec 2014 got there at 7.30 am to be told at 13.00 that it had been cancelled It has now been cancelled again on 6th Jan 2015 No beds ,I have now had (3) lots of antibiotics for infection which makes me very poorly and puts me in bed for 3 days each time, I am also in discomfort from the stent all the time , my wife rang the hospital to day 23 Jan 2015 and spoke to the secretary and explained she said she could not give any dates out as there is no beds and that Cancer operations are also getting Cancelled ,This is a very worrying time how much longer do I have to wait .
