Bugs from Spain

The lastest treatment news is that my surgery date of the 8th July has been cancelled.
This came as quite a shock at my pre-operation assessment yesterday.

The BRI's intensive care department (ITU) has been locked down after a holiday-maker returned from Spain with a virilent bug that has not been responding to drugs. All patients currently on ITU have to stay there till they are discharged, to avoid the possibility of the bug spreading throughout the hospital. The department will then have to be deep-cleaned before any new patients are allowed back on ITU. Read about it on the BBC website.

They cannot give me an idea of when/how this will be re-scheduled...
With over a week to go before my op, this could create some fairly hefty tail-backs.

We'll see. I should get post tomorrow morning from the BRI with new operation details.
