He was admitted to the hospital, in bed in the gown all ready for the procedure, soon after he was getting dressed again and we were heading back home.
The Manager and Matron had decided to cancel his operation due to lack of intensive beds after three emergency admissions that morning.
He's on some special medication, one of the side effects is suffering with very cold hands and feet. He already wears hand knit cosy warm socks. He asked me if I could knit some hand warmers for him to see if they help.
This weekend I've done just that and these are what he's now wearing and yes, they are keeping him a little warmer he says.
As for his procedure, we await another appointment.... got to love the NHS.
Love and blessings
Julie
Love these hand warmers. How frustrating with the hospital canceling. I hate the waiting part. I hope it is over quickly for you both.
ReplyDeleteI hope he doesn't have to wait too much longer. It can't be easy on either of you, getting prepared for the operation, only to have it put on hold.
ReplyDeleteCute hand warmers. X
Dear Julie I am so sorry to hear you have been put on hold for the operation for your husband. I'm sure that causes lots of anxiety. But, how sweet to make such nice hand warmers to keep him warm. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteOh Julie how upsetting for you both.
ReplyDeleteI hear this all the time .
It never use to be this way.
Hope your hubby gets his opp soon.
Love his hand warmers , my Hubby feels the cold .
Wishing you a better week hugs.
Hope your husband gets his operation soon Julie. Love the handwarmers and good that they're doing their job in keeping him warm x
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad state of affairs that so many operations get cancelled these days. I hope your husband gets another date soon, it's so frustrating knowing that it's got to be done and being on the waiting list. In the meantime, I'm sure those lovely woolly mitts will keep his hands nice and warm.
ReplyDeleteI hope your DH has his operation soon, its a worrying time, nothing can be said about emergency amittances, but it must have been horrible to be so close to getting it done.
ReplyDeleteI hope your hubby won't have too wait too long for his op, it must have been very disappointing after the wait and mentally preparing for it, a worrying time for you both but better it be cancelled than not have the proper care, and I suppose emergency's can't be predicted for any day.
ReplyDeleteThose gloves look very cosy and I'm sure will keep DH's hands warm. I have everything crossed for an early appointment and a positife outcome for you both.
ReplyDeleteOh the stress of that heart operation no go! :( I am so sorry how that went Julie. Those mitts are lovely my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh dear poor you, it's all the highs and lows that get you. At least he's going to keep cosy while he waits again.
ReplyDeleteAwful when you are ready and prepared and things get cancelled. I'm sure the hand warmers are very comforting:)
ReplyDeleteJulie: I am so sorry they cancelled the operation, I hope he gets in soon, I know how you feel, Mike had triple bypass in 2016, if they would have had to change the date it would have devastated him.
ReplyDeleteI will add you both to my prayer list.
Hugs
Catherine
How frustrating to have the op cancelled at the last moment.
ReplyDeleteThe hand warmers are lovely. They work by keeping the wrists warm, which warms the blood supply to the hands. So making sure his wrists are always covered will help with his hands.
We wear them in the shop when it's cold because we need our fingers free for the till buttons!
Oh, that must have been so frustrating, Julie! I've never heard of anything like that happening... I hope next time everything goes smoothly and in the mean time his cozy hand warmers will keep him warm and comfortable. Hoping for the best for your dear husband ☻
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so frustrating. Just when you're ready and mentally prepared, then have to do it all over again. I'm glad he likes his hand warmers. Did you use a pattern?
ReplyDeleteA borrowed pattern from a friend
DeleteOh dear, Julie, so very frustrating for you both and it only adds to your and his anxiety. Praying for another slot to come up soon. Great work on the hand warmers, they do look cosy.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your husband gets his operation soon.
ReplyDeleteThose handwarmers look great.
All the best Jan
How wonderful that you can help keep him warm with the handwarmers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that his surgery has been postponed again, that happened several times with my godmother too.
