Thank you all for your help and support regarding Willows op (With the exception of tealeaf who is acting more obnoxious than ever!) You are right Garinda, you don't stand a chance of catching up on posts until the summer .............and as for you Less, for a tough cookie, you gotta marshmallow heart (or was that "brain"? )

God help you all if Willow is instructed not to move around for a few days, she will be on the accyweb 18 hours a day!!

tealeaf, no UK government has ever practised hypothesization,

Ok tealeaf, speaking 'hypothetically' if a patient is terminally ill, should they be denied the few comforts that pain killing drugs or just a good old shoulder to cry on, in the name of finance? answers please, there but for the grace of god go you!, ones tax bill etc become meaningless, in the struggle to survive.

Any operation done by the NHS or paid for in the "private sector" is a worry.. hope you recover as quick as possible from your op..yourself and busman can take heart in knowing that you are well supported here!

Thanks to all of you who posted your good wishes.

Less I appreciate your sense of humour which is on a similar level to mine. The toothpaste had to come out of my bag last night

but I've put it back in again today because I don't know if I'm going to need it or not now. I've got my little list of everything I'm supposed to take but if I'm going to be in and out on the same day now I'm sure some of it will be superfluous.

I said "frustrating" in the thread title because frustrating is all it is. Not "infuriating" not "appalling" not "disgusting" - just frustrating - the sort of frustrating when you've waited in all day for a gas man to come but he never turns up.

Thank you Gary for your understanding that I am apprehensive anyway and not exactly looking forward to today. I do want it to be all over and done with but unfortunately this may just be the start.

I normally wouldn't give two hoots about anythng anyone says on a message board because most of the time it's just words on a computer screen and you don't know the people behind them. In some cases they could be totally fictitious characters living in someone else's imagination, (I've known that happen more than once but that's another story.) but AccyWebbers are mostly more than that because a lot of us know each other in person or have at least met and socialised.

If someone I didn't know from a bump on a log had said the things Tealeaf said I would have just dismissed him as an ignorant oaf and taken no notice of it but I actually sat here in tears yesterday, probably because I'd already been worried and not keen on going in anyway and then getting different sorts of conflicting info from the hospital from diifferent people didn't do much for my confidence. Yesterday I was upset by what he'd said which wasn't humourous like Less or even wittily sarcastic. It was downright nasty. And to think I'd actually worried about him when the London bombings took place. Perhaps I should complain about people who can afford to go private who don't do so and clog up the waiting lists for the rest of us who have to rely on the NHS.

My friend Diane died whilst she was on an NHS waiting list for her op. Well it made the statistics look better when they could cross her off the list didn't it? One less to deal with.

Mummiboo, I remember only too well when your Dad kept having his whole op deferred never mind the admission date and time mucked about with. That must have been worrying. I don't think "frustrating" would have covered the apprehensive build up to going in for an op being followed by an anti climax of getting the phone call to say "don't come today". I was on holiday when he had the stent thing done and I got Busman to phone me up to tell me how it had gone and was gobsmacked at how soon he was able to come home. (Your Dad I mean, not Busman)

I appreciate your prayers LYY and everyone else's good wishes. To the decent people here - Thank You.

They did this with me, told me i had to be in 24 hours before the op and then rang me 10 minutes before i left and told me to be there for 8am.
Got there at 8am and was taken to theatre straight from the tv room.

The guiding principle of the NHS, as laid down by Bevan in 1948, and still held by both the Labour & Conservative party, is that treatment is free at the point of delivery. In other words, treatment for nowt.

Next?

Answer the question.

Does your 'owt for nowt' remark also apply to education?
