Well the hospital where im getting my op does not have an A & E, it is only for specialised operations. Also im not on the elective for surgery but top of surgeons priority list as Im at risk of heart failure at any time!

I am thoroughly screened and "MOT'D" before they actually get you in for surgery. Any colds cough etc and they wont take you.

As I have only been out of the house twice this year, I consider my self extremely low risk as I haven't been amongst people at all!

Fingers crossed for you Florence x

Update.....
Well folks the last week I have been chasing the hospital as hadn't heard abut my allergy tests!

The allergy centre didn't reply so my consultant contacted a respiratory doctor and he replied within 2 days.
He has recommended that I switch to a different asthma inhaler...just one Puff a day.

After 10 days they will do lung function tests to see if this has made a difference and if it has then they will hope to get me in for my op end of Mar beg of April.

Im still a bit confused as to how they can def know if was my asthma and not anything else that caused the problem?

Anyway, my surgeon wont operate unless he is satisfied its safe to proceed.

So I shall let you all know in a couple of weeks the results...keeping my chin up this time and the op will go fine.

Think I may of misworded something when I said I wouldn't post, I meant just on this thread until there was new updates in the new year.
I shall be reading all the other threads or maybe put up a thread myself that's topical and of course may comment on other threads too.

Sometimes on here its more entertaining than the tv...lol

Ive had a jolly good shower and hairwash today to rid the hospital out of my system. I feel so much fresher and cleaner now just my brain/memory seems a bit hazy, but I know in time ill be ok.

Crikey, Florence! :-S
Stay as well as you can - and take care <3

Well done your surgeon Florence. As you say, not what you wanted to happen but it did and it is obvious that you are going to make the best of things.
Enjoy Christmas with your daughter who also will be grateful to the surgeon and enjoy that glass of wine.

You say you won't post but don't rule it out, nothing like a few words on here if you are feeling bored or down. Otherwise we look forward to hearing what is to happen when you know. <3 <3 <3

Enjoy relaxing at home with your daughter and I hope you both have a
very Happy Christmas Florence. Take care now xx
