I had a date for a shoulder replacement on September 3rd 2015. Unfortunately I had to cancel that date a few days ago, so I could support my father who is 81 and having cardio thoracic surgery on September 2 .
I emailed my consultant to let him know about this and have been told it could be November before my surgery happens.
So who got my spot and why wasn't it a direct swap. Not happy at the wait been waiting long enough. When am I going to be fixed.
