    RANT :mad::mad:

    Ive been waiting to go into hospital for a minor procedure under anaesthetic for the best part of a year. It's a gynae thing so I won't go into details. Nothing life threatening, just something that will make life a little easier for me.

    Ive had 3 pre ops so far. A pre OP only last 3 months so I keep having to have another one when 3 months passes without a date to go in. 2 weeks ago the hospital rang me, saying they had a cancellation slot the next day and could I fill it. Obviously in my circumstances Thats too short notice to make the necessary arrangements. So I explained that and told them I'd need at least a few days. WELL they've only rang this morning and told me Theres a slot this afternoon........IF haven't eaten or drank after 7am:mad::mad:

    Im so peed off :( Ive had nothing but praise for the NHS in this area, Ive had dealings with many different depts and have always been very impressed. But I've now given up on this lot, so badly organised. I totally accept that there are emergencies and more needy cases but how mad to spend time and money on all those pre OP examinations and tests for nothing........my current pre OP is 3 months old on Wednesday :( I told the lady on the phone this morning to take me off the list. Im going to discuss with my GP. Im either going to leave it and go on as I am or find out about have it done privately .

    rant over :o

    I hope you get somewhere with your GP. xxx

    Shame for me then I've got to go & dust at Mum's today :(

    Good Morning everyone lovely sunny day off to T's for parioli & A's maybe find some Andrex? (Thanks Lutz didn't make it last night so might all be gone this morning) & Mums take dinners & cleaning.

    DH coming with me today as I have a poorly knee & shoulder & have to see a rheumatologist but appointment not til August. Lately pain getting worse & I've been limping I know it's funny to see. When the pain really hits I walk like those Korean soldiers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good luck hun, I've got some spare if you can't find any. If they've restocked a pm would be welcome, I have to pick up DD over there later today. Hope the pain gets better.

    Now I really MUST go to work!:)
    Hope is not a strategy.

    Can I say thank you to whom ever it was that suggested ringing T's up about the bonus clubcard points from the Gillette promo. Points have been added on and my clubcard balance is the best it has ever looked especially after the TCB conversion. :j
