"Do you have a date yet?" The answer is No. I will hear from the surgeon's office one week before surgery, and will let everyone know when this happens.
I heard from the surgeon's office that I will have surgery in May earliest. A specialist staffing shortage is forcing delays in heart surgeries across the whole hospital.
It's upsetting to be told April and then to hear May, but I also know that there are very, very sick people who will still have surgery because their lives are in immediate danger; they should have surgery first. In Canada, urgency is determined by medical necessity; not deep pockets.
My condition seems stable for now, so I just need to be patient.
Your thoughts and prayers for patience continue to be gratefully accepted, and please call if you want to visit; I'm up for a cup of tea.
Thanks again ever so much for all your support.
