    That's such good news that the steroids are working.  That's terrible about the taxi though.

  • Sorry about your appointment. That is very frustrating. 

    That's great news about the pain though.

  • Good news on the steroids , terrible on the taxi. Hope your new appointment comes soon. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • Honestly, taxis seem to be so unreliable these days. I have heard several people say they have had problems.  Maybe next time and Uber might be better than a normal taxi.  Hope you don't have to wait too long for a rearranged appointment.  
    Glad the steroids are working for you.

    I hate getting taxis. I can’t believe what poor service you received, absolutely disgusting. 

    Great news about the steroids though. I can remember what a difference they made to you when you took them before. So good to hear you sounding so much better 🙂

  • The taxi was very annoying to say the least .

    They are very unreliable here and it doesn’t help that this company bought others out so has a monopoly on the city. Sadly we don’t have Uber here 😟
