Mission Aborted.

Because of an ongoing problem I had to attend the new Queen Elizabeth hospital today for an exploratory operation.

We arrived early in the day and waited on the ward. Then we waited on the ward. Then we waited on the ward some more. I hadn't eaten since my dinner last night and I was rather peckish.

Finally, at about 4:30 we were told that the operation was to be postponed. The first time anything like this has ever happened to me. The problem was caused by a six and a half hour transplant operation, followed by an emergency operation referred by A & E department, so they have to prioritise and I've no objection to that.

This is the hospital at dusk as we were leaving.
