Good Morning! It´s 4.30am as I start to type this post. I am up for half an hour, probabyl got woken up by the missing little snore usually coming from next to me. It´s been a dreadful day yesterday. We arrived at the hospital on 6.30am sharp, just as we were requested to. Registered with the nurse and were asked to wait in the waiting area until we were being called. There we sat and waited, and waited. At 10.30 am, I got slightly angry and went to see the nurse again, asking for what time Petra´s surgery was scheduled. The answer I got was 1pm. My question why the h.ll we were asked to come in by 6.30am when the surgery was scheduled at 6 1/2 hours later was answered with "organisational issues", which is just a foul excuse for not being organised at all. So, patiently we waited again - until 1pm. And waited. Until 1.30pm. I again went to see the nurse and demanded politely, but strongly to be informed when or even if the surgery were to take place. By that time my BP was exceeding 180 and I wasn´t called Old Fog Horn for nothing in my younger days! The answer was that Petra is next. So we waited. And waited. At 2.30pm We were given the info "within the next 30 minutes". But when that time had passed, a doctor finally got around to calling the surgery off for the day. Believe me, I had a few choice words for them, still very polite, but much stronger than before. Petra was in tears, it was just too much for her. Completely dehydrated and hungry she just collapsed. Things start moving rapidly then. They got her into a bed, hooked up on an IV bag of glucosis and when she was feeling better, also got her a meal and something to drink. I stayed with her until 6pm, went home, sat down on the sofa, and woke up at 10pm. I must have passed out proper! Got my self a bite to eat and went to bed. Petra´s surgery will now be performed this morning and I will be on my way to her in a couple of hours. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!
