For several years I´ve been waiting for surgery, up in my nose. A complex problem, and the doctors haven´t been quite sure if they are able to fix it, but since February I have been on the hospital´s waiting list for surgery.
When I was put on the waiting list in February I was told that there was a guarantee that the waiting would take no longer than three months.
In August I had still heard nothing!
I called the hospital, and all they could do was to say they were terrible sorry, they had forgotten me! I would get a date for the surgery as soon as possible.
Two weeks later I got a letter from the hospital, my surgery was set till September 26th. An inconvenient date of course, I am working, my days are all planned, but I had no other choice than to make room for the hospital, cancel dates, make new plans, let people know I would not come and so on.
Yesterday I got another letter from the hospital. The surgery date is delayed till September 30th!
New plans have to be made......
......and I have 4 extra days to dread this surgery.........
And who knows if another delay letter will come......

A favour: can you help me make a list of "books which must be read" for my sick leave weeks after the surgery. I know I will desperately crave books then.
