So at my pre-op I was positive for MRSA in my nostril, I went on antibiotics for a week and was told I’d need to be tested again after them to see if it’s cleared.
I had my appointment for new swabs on Monday and thought that was that if they come back negative. Apparently not, I got a call earlier, the lady had been on annual leave. She said that I would need a further 2 tests even if this one I’ve just had comes back negative and they need to be a week apart so it’s most likely my op will be postponed. I’m seriously annoyed about this because I was never told it would be three whole separate tests! She also said they have to be a week apart, so there’s absolutely no chance my op will go ahead on time. I didn’t have any issues with when my pre-op was booked for so why don’t they take this into consideration. My mum is a carer and really struggles to get time off so now I’m absolutely screwed. I seriously just want to break down in tears.
