I'm sorry, Karen. You're at the end of your rope with this and who can blame you. From what I've been taking in, the way they handle surgery in Ireland and the UK is alot different than us in the states. In my case, I remember having to do some switching of the dates, but usually because of the doctor. Once was because of waiting on my insurance approval. But in all cases, the surgery was done within 2-3 wks.
And wouldn't you know it, it always ended up after the new year so my insurance deductible had to start all over again. Grrrrr

I hope something will work out for you soon.
