Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 What worked for me was telling them I was up for a short notice cancellation and to make sure they had my mobile phone number. People do get ill and have to cancel. This cold weather might help. (Of course, surgeons can get ill as well!) Eleanor RE Kent thanks thanks for the advice. I am under Kent and sussex too. I am due to have the op done by Mr Raverkumar. I am absolutely terrified but desperate to live with out pain. Am 39 and have lived like this for about seven years. Any tips on how to get up the list ( apart from staging a one woman sit in at Maidstone hospital??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Don't be terrified: it is quite normal to fear the operation but there are a lot of people on this site that would do again if need be. There is truly nothing to worry you - I've had two and was fairly worried about the first one - luckily I had a few experienced fellow patients who calmed everything down. By the time of my second operation my worries were almost non existent. Please speak to any of the nurses when you go into hospital - they will be totally understanding and will be willing to help.
