Helen, there is a saying somewhere that I shall pass along in hopes it'll cheer you (if the red wine fails)
when patience and anticipation fall through and you find yourself waiting impatiently...pause and think "what if" there is another place I should be.
Danny Boy echoes the thoughts I have of there always being a reason WHY the delay; we want that laser to help you, not hurt you. I once got a flat tire, no big deal and not a nice event, but 300 yards further up the road & I would have been travelling on the Patulla bridge, with a far worse outcome than running into the ditch, as I did. Whenever your surgery is , our thoughts are with you. Your advice has always helped me. Ta luv!
