I am on the NHS waiting list for a heart procedure and had been told it would not be until the autumn at least.

Because the problems are so life-limiting I made the decision to attack my savings and to go privately and had been given a date for 19th February. I was sitting at my computer filling in their medical history form and had just pressed send when the phone rang from the NHS hospital offering me 27th February!!

I feel a bit discombobulated!! I nearly fell off my chair!

Private hospital were happy to cancel with no problems - phew!

That's really good, and as others have said, you must buy yourself something with at least some of the money you will have saved.
Hope everything goes well for you.

That is really good but please stay indoors so you don't catch one of the many nasty lurgies going around.

Good your savings can stay where they are.
