Well, Just had phone call from Denise--my new GP is much better, she feels, and very 'on the ball'--but does NOT want to go down the 'patch' route for me yet--or give me regular anti-anxiety stuff. So I can beg for the happy pills if I've a 'potentially stressful' appointment/situation coming up and can have them--well, a few, anyway, lowest dose). Am being put on Sevredol--gonna look it up in a minute--have to keep notes over weekend, ring surgery on Monday, he'll 'recalculate' how much I've needed and convert it to twice a day MST???? Just gonna look all that up on the net right now! D'ya think I might get pain patch and tranquilisers on last day of my life??? Oh boy--that great British 'stiff upper lip' stuff--must do it to stop bottom one quivering!! Bren
