OH NO! TIMBY HAS RETURNED! LATEST UPDATE.

*UPDATE.
I'm to have a pre-op assessment in two weeks which means I could be having surgery fairly soon after this. So the top man Urology Consultant does have a say in matters 🙂 Nice one!

Slightly concerned about having a GA at my age and also coz I haven't shaken off my cough tho I expect the Anaesthetist will step in on the day to say either yay or nay to surgery.

Correct if the Anesthetist thinks if is too risk , then they will advise. Good luck.
 
From one cancer sufferer and fellow diabetic to another. All the best in your recovery. Positive mental attitude, best wishes wirralass. From your nom de plume i assume you go to clatterbridge as do i.
 
I remember an anaesthetist with a GSOH commenting to me when I said we should all always .be really nice to anaesthetists, cos we'd rather like to be fully asleep whilst others are operating on us, 'We also have the responsibility of waking you up again afterwards - so perhaps you should be even nicer?' 🙂

I hope they don't cancel on you WL because of the current prob.

Hope the appointment can go ahead in all this current kerfuffle WL
 
UPDATE.
It's here. *27 March is the date of admission to hospital for my surgery Arrrggghhh!
Tbh I'm s**t scared! Scared that I won't come round from the general anaesthetic ~ and scared if I do ~ that I come home carrying the dreaded virus:(😱 There's a chance that all routine surgery will be cancelled, following in the footsteps of Wales but this remains to be seen.

Update.
I spoke with the hospital yesterday (Fri) and I've been advised to postpone surgery on 27 March. They will send me a re-scheduled date in a few months. So I can breathe again til then, phew!

Thank you for all your well wishes folks, much appreciated.
