Not going as planed

Hi everyone just a quick update. I had my chest X-ray and ECG done yesterday. They then told me that my heart cath more than likely won’t be going ahead today. To say I was annoyed would be an understatement. Got the team coming round sometime today to chat to me. I need to come back to have my liver looked at so they said they will do cath then. Let’s see what today brings

Can't imagine how you feel, I thought that they were doing all the tests needed this week. Is the cath not going ahead because of nhs administrative issues/capacity or because the ecg/xray showed they couldn't do it now? Grrrr!

Sending hugs xxxxx

I'd be annoyed as well, you went in expecting they had all their ducks in a neat straight row to get testing and interviews done and hearing there will be a delay must have been gut-wrenching.

Still, so far it's 'only' a wee blip, hopefully they'll have a good explanation for the delay when they come around sometime today.

Hi Tori don't be too despondent, I know it is disappointing when they say you will get a procedure done and then pull the rug out from under your feet, just wait and see what today brings. Take care beautiful girl and keep your chin up. Love to you and your family. Ruth xx

I would not stress about it. The cath lab may be dealing with an emergency as stents can sometimes be time critical after a heat attack. My preliminary blood tests showed a slightly lowered eGfr so I had a kidney ultrasound arranged for the next day. I am sure they will update you today.

Gah, 1 step forward, 2 back. It WILL happen, you just need to get a good book or watch a good film (or two) and wait it out. xx

Emergencies can caused delays in plans so don't be too upset.

Although not as serious as your condition, my husband had 5 cancellations leading up to his quad bypass (one of those operation cancellations was in the operating room!!). Wheeled back out and I collected him and took him home!!

Keep us posted Tori. I'm sure something positive will come out of today.

Sending love and hugs and keeping everything crossed for you. Jan xxxxx
