Welll!!!!!!!

Was at the hospital for 7am , grandaughter took a day off work to take me in

Went through all the prelims .blood taken .blood pressure done,leg marked up.
Other leg fitted with elastic stocking and good news you are second on the list

Then you may be first as the other lady hasn’t arrived yet and we can’t contact

Won’t get you to change till we know

Then the anaesthetist came in and said we aren’t sure now as your iron level is a bit low.New guidelines say it should be 13 and yours is 11

Lots of back and forwards and surgeon saying he would go ahead but needed to discuss only for them to decide not !

It’s been delayed for a month and I had to have more bloods taken and they will discuss when the results are known
May need iron injections or even an iron transfusion but may not need anything as it may be normal for me
Frustrating,but then again if it’s too risky to do until the levels get better then probably for the best

Oh Shirley nothing worse than getting yourself all mentally ready for op and then having that happen. As you say though it was good that you were checked properly and better safe than sorry
