good to see that you are better now. the waiting lists are redic

Just an update had the operation went well just now for the recovery time

Thanks everyone for your comments
I actually am going in on March 19 for the operation only a few more days to go and counting

That must be terrible. Did they now book you in for a new operation?

I can understand your frustration – I hope it goes ahead soon.

It is so frustrating when you get geared but for surgery and it is put off. I hope that all goes to plan in March and there is no more waiting for you

Very frustrating ,could always ring Health Deartment see if anything can be done .

all the best for when it finally does happen in the meantime keep MOM in mind it always helps

Vent away! It definitely sounds like you are frustrated and fair enough! It can be a challenge when you prepare yourself for something and then it changes! Hope all goes well when you do have your operation.

You have every right to feel angry and miserable. Thyroid issues can make people feel very unwell. I wish you well. Hospital waiting times and waiting lists particularly make me feel cross at the moment as well.

I took a course of resource before I had one of my surgeries (the specialist told me the one he prescribed for me would help healing and repair of tissues).
There are quite a lot on the market and do really help with nutrients , and the one I took was delicious .
Here is another one I found whilst searching.
Wishing you well. xx

Sending love and gentle hugs your way.
We struggle to pay private health but I must admit it has been used and comes in very handy many times.
Pray the time passes quickly for you or better still they have a opening space they can slot you into before 6 wks.
Wondering if this will help in the mean time.
