    I have my prescription now and the form filled in by GP...so will post that later.

    The understairs cupboard has been sorted out and my filing cabinet back in the corner of the living room where I can get at it.

    I have a massive box of papers etc to sort/file shred/recycle and the cabinet to do and get it into some kind of order...it will be done over the course of a few days.

    Not heard from the BCN yet....I really want to know when my operation is and all the other stuff so I can fit things in around it....

    Also I can't finish the ESA form over the phone until I know the date..luckily it has to be in by 27 june so won't delay anything there...

    I just get fed up of all the waiting....

    hang in there, Taxi! When you get the op date, time will speed up again don't worry :) You seem to be doing great - steadily knocking stuff off that list so that afterwards all you need to worry about is you. Another thing to check is season ticket parking passes for the hospital - it soon mounts up if OH is visiting every day.

    Hi Taxi - Lenza, thats another good point. You're doing well - I've had a funny afternoon, a no-show and a cancellation so didn't quite know what to do with myself, hadn't really prepared anything. The waiting must be getting on your nerves tho, you're in a limbo until you can plan things, and you *want* to plan things, of course, keeping control of whatever you can in your life.

    HI taxi, I hope the date comes through quickly and you don't have long to wait (just long enough to sort out that paperwork!). I do admire the way you are dealing with it. Just like the debt - you don't flap, you just work out exactly what needs to be done and do it! I wish I had one tenth of your sense.

    Hi, sounds like you are getting things sorted really well. Another thing that struck me was make sure you keep copies of all correspondence cos ESA and DLA quite often want things proving, and its also useful to have with you if others need information.HTH - lilo
