I was all ready for the ablation. Watched the other ladies in the ward eating their dinner - only me "nil by mouth"!! At 1.30 p.m., unfortunately, the dr. came along and apologised for having to cancel my procedure.
It seemed a long 5 and a half hours of waiting, but it really wasn't wasted as the lady in the next bed had received her ablation yesterday and she was a real mine of information on what to expect and delivered it all with a great sense of humour. It also made me feel much better about having my rearranged procedure.
I am now scheduled for 24th March. With that date, I will just be able to say I am still 81 as I will be 82 on the 29th March.

I was given a very nice snack box which I am eating at home now.
I now have to book 4 more weekly warfarin tests. Think I will feel like a pin cushion, as I was also on weekly tests for the November one, which was cancelled due to a bad chest infection.
Yes buffafly very legitimate reason. There were complications with the person before me and I appreciate that safety must come first. Hope your daughter has a happy birthday.
Look out for some more reassurances being needed around the third week in March.
