"Waiting time for teeth operation"

Last october i was refered from my dentist to Medway Maritime Hospital, as i couldnt have sedation at my dentist to have 5 teeth out.

Back in June i got a date for out patients where i see consultant, had xrays done, had my pre op assement and was told i cant have it done on Sunderland day surgery ward, because its 5 teeth and my health conditions.

The pre op nurse said I am not suitable for Sunderland any more, so they referred me to Queen Victoria hospital East Grinsted. Then i was told i would have to choose between having my knee op or my teeth op. I got a letter to ring Queen Victoria hospital, which i did and was given a cancellation date, then the next day i got a letter about my knee op, so choose to have my knee op.

My first date for surgery was cancelled, while waiting to go to theatre, another date offered, got cancellation date, had my knee op, then last week i got another letter for Queen Victoria Hospital, so i rang them, they gave me a solid date for my teeth op in February, unless a cancellation comes up.

My teeth are painful, i cant believe the wait ive got to wait, this is making me very anxious, i just want it over and done with

I am not moaning about the hospitals involed, just disappointed that it couldn't be done on Sunderland day surgery, but i know when i had my wisdom teeth out 25 years ago at the dentist i bleed heavy, and i hope it doesnt happen when i have 5 teeth out, as its a long journey home.
