Surgery.

I don’t have a surgery date yet but it has been confirmed it will be at Auckland Hospital when it does happen.

What I do have is a short notice appointment for tomorrow to meet with the surgeon and anaesthetist and get any extra scans and tests done that they see fit to order for me. The appointment actually recommends bringing snacks and something to read as it is expected to take 4-5 hours.

The short notice does not in itself indicate anything untoward; they do these sessions on Thursdays, apparently, and next week would have been fine, but why wait when I don’t have to?

So I could know more by tomorrow, or not depending on whether I have to wait to get the date confirmed, but the good news is it’s surgery first. Now hopefully the oncologist tomorrow will be happy to talk to Simon and maybe I will get my hand fixed this year after all.

Fingers crossed…. on my good hand, at least.
