Hi Mark 
Eventful day, I think. I was told my op would be at the NGH but I got a cancellation at The Thornbury so you never know until you get the phonecall. Don't panic as in my experience they bend over backward to accommodate any problems you have. Depending on where you are on the list, the time you need to be there can be a bit flexible. Get your teeth sorted first so you are in a position to take the first date offered to you. Your lung age can't matter to him or he would have told you the op couldn't proceed. Don't know what a central line is I only had a cannula Do you know anyone in Sheffield that would put you up for the night if really necessary? Just take things as they come & don't worry about things that may not even happen. Good luck for the op & hope it is soon for you

Denise, central line is like a canula but it is in the neck.
Don't know anyone in Sheffield, and we live 30 miles away. Maybe I am panicking over everything - just wish it was all over.

Ah, I see
Just a thought ... don't DSS cover travel etc costs for hospital visits? Wonder if they would cover the cost of a taxi for you? Worth asking but in the mean time, try to relax as much as you can. You are nearly there ... xxRetfordmag

I got a letter for my group session today, appointment is 10th May , so just 3 weeks from now and I was only referred 2 weeks ago on the 5th.
It's suddenly got very real for me!
I'm going to be super interested in your progress because we're probably going to be in the same hospital and have the same surgeon.

Emma,
I had group session in January, saw consultant mid March and was told then that I would have surgery within the next two months. The only reason I am not likely to have mine until June time (fingers crossed) is that I am away in Cornwall and the north east for two weeks, then in Benidorm for a week. If I hadn't the holidays planned then I would have probably been having op in the next month

June isn't too far off now though...its almost the end of April!!
I wish I was going on holiday, but as soon as I decided to have surgery I decided no holiday abroad until its done, might have a wee trip to Inverness though and I've got my eldest daughters graduation in Aberdeen in July.
Only thing is..not much chance of a sun tan in Scotland!
