Cancelled operation

Tomorrow I was supposed to be having a new hip fitted. But yesterday the operation was cancelled due to my hemoglobin levels being too low. The cause appears to be the amount of new tablets prescribed that I am taking for my kidney condition.
I have to say, I wasn't looking forward to it, but because now I cannot walk more than a few paces without lots of support, I need it and was looking forward to having a much better year ahead. I was supposed to have it at this time last year so lost a year there. Now I see no future, for I have no idea what will happen next..

Sorry to read about your op being cancelled, hopefully if you can get your hemoglobin levels up then they will reassess you again for your op0

Sorry to hear that @Dragonslayer I would be very frustrated if it was me. I hope you get it rebooked within a decent amount of time.0

Thanks to all for the comments. I am waiting for the consultant to get back to me with a future plan. In the meantime he has reduced my intake of the drug by two thirds.1
