Feeling frustrated

[gracie2201]

Just to give some background I'm 19 years old and I have severe period pain. I had a scan in 2019 which revealed that my ovary was lower down than it should be and they think it was an ovarian cyst. I had my pre-op done in February 2020. I was obviously supposed to have the operation last year but due to COVID I never had it. Then finally a few weeks ago I got the date for my op which supposed to be yesterday.

I was scheduled to have a laparoscopy and to remove an ovarian cyst yesterday. I got to the hospital and had all the usual pre-op blood pressure checks and they ran through everything. I got in the hospital at 12:00 and I was waiting until 19:00 and I was so anxious. I hadn't eaten anything since 6:45 in the morning. I was texting my parents the whole day and they called up to see what was going on and only at 19:00 did they say another operation was taking a lot longer than expected and they cancelled my operation. The surgeon came down to talk to me and well here's the real kicker - I was supposed to go in to surgery before that woman. She was 65 and getting her ovaries removed and had more complicated health issues so I understand why she went in first in some ways. But then I think they could've just done my op and got it out the way instead of making me wait for hours without knowing anything. I just started crying yesterday because I went through so much emotionally and mentally because it was my first time having surgery by myself without my parents and I had to mentally prepare for it. I just can't believe this happened when it's already been delayed so much. It means I'll have to self isolate again and maybe get another COVID test. The surgeon did say he's going to call me today to give me a date and it'll probably be next week but I just feel so emotionally drained. I'm also anxious I'll be waiting for ages again. I had another surgery in another hospital (unrelated to endometriosis) and I was waiting for 5 hours so I did expect maybe it'll take a long time but honestly I'm so upset.
