Joined: May 2007 Posts: 632 | Okay Liz--it's Friday tomorrow--if you've still heard nothing, get on to your mum about ring the hospital, or, if you're up to it---DRIVE there yourself and ask what's happening about appointments.
When I found out how long mine was going to be, (a month! AND it was marked 'urgent') and phoned to try and get earlier one, was just told 'we're fully booked'
--at that point I DID get resigned and put the 'waiting' to the back of my mind with a superhuman effort, deciding it wouldn't make any difference by that time if I went crazy or not--it wouldn't affect the outcome!
Is your post back to normal? Saw our postie for the first time today in what seems like forever!
