Had just got used to having my rthr on 13th July, hubby had sorted works my 3 kids were prepared and had also informed schools etc. Well today I receive a letter to say its been cancelled and wont be done until the 2nd Aug.
Sorry to hear that, it's so awful when they do that.
, you get yourself all sorted then got to do it all again.
Hope when you have op all goes well.
love Lorna
Hi Michelle, Know how you feel. My first RTHR was booked for Jan 18th but I cancelled it because the circumstances weren't right. So surgeon re booked it for April 7th. But that was cancelled due to Junior Doctors strikes. So next date was April 14th and that was cancelled too! So then it was booked for April 28th and this time it went ahead. So I am now just over 8 weeks post op RTHR. I am also 18 months post op LTHR. I know it's disappointing Michelle but it will all come good in the end I'm sure.
Of course you are feeling down - all that pent-up emotion has to go. Very sorry to hear you have been postponed and I hope you get rescheduled quickly. I think you need a night out to forget your troubles ... or mabe order in a special meal. Either way, some form of derious distraction is needed
Take care ... I'll be watching for news of your new date.
Good luck.
Oh so sorry to hear that Michelle....like all of us I know you are anxious and trying to get prepared for the surgery and anticipating finally getting some relief and being able to heal soon. Not to mention all the other things you already did to get everything taken care of....Hugs.....and hope the time doesn't seem to drag on to awful long for you. Barb
Oh Michelle, that is terribly disappointing. ..
at least you know it ahead of time and make adjustments
I am so sorry ....
big warm hug

I have been waiting since December. Numerous cancellations, changed surgeon, more cancelled surgery, now being told my current surgeon is on holiday until August so may not get surgery until after September. I understand your frustration. I too have kids and a partner who keeps having to take holidays then plead with his employer to cancel them and book again, all on top of me not being able to work and running out of money every day. I am in touch with a local solicitor about the matter, its just not on!!
Oh I am so sorry, you get yourself physically and emotionally ready. And then have to organise home and children. You have my total sympathy.
It was my biggest dread. Organise something nice as a family and regroup!
my very very best for August 2nd - not too long.

So sorry.Its hard to get yourself set for what is a really big deal just to have it .Your probably sick of hurting and just want to get it over with.I had my left knee replaced last May,my left hip this May and was planning my right hip this August.My left femur head fractured at day 19 after surgery so it is going to take longer to get that 2nd hip done and there are financial repercussions for taking more time off.Sorry for the delay.its hard. Be well
Oh that is so annoying, no wonder you feel frustrated. But you can rearrange things and it will still be done. Enjoy summer x
I am so sorry Mishelle - that is freakin' tough and unfair ...
can they just do this?
thinking of you
big warm hug

Thank you lorna , I had mentally prepared myself which makes it worse. I will update once it's been done. Xx
hi Shirley I can't imagine it being cancelled again, I felt so frustrated yesterday when I read the letter. Hope everything is going ok with your recovery
thank you Linda , we had a lovely meal and explained to the children that it had been cancelled, think telling my 9 year old daughter was the hardest as she had only come to terms with me having the op over the past couple of days. I will update hopefully beginning of Aug if all goes to plan
hi barb, I really hope it doesn't either, the only positive I think is my children will be on summer holidays from school so I won't need to worry that they are upset at school.
This is what I said I think it would of been much worse if was cancelled closer to the surgery date
oh no that is a long time to have to wait, it is hard for our partners to get the time off needed to help care for us, I hope you get something sorted soon I'll be thinking of you
oh no I oh no this is so bad, can't imagine waiting that long and not knowing when it will happen, it is hard for our partners to get the time off needed to help care for us. I hope you get something soon. I look forward to your updates
thank you I plan to do things thing with my children the beginning of summer holidays now and hope it goes to plan
just hoping my husband employer is ok as been hard enough already to get the time off ,
