    I have been told I can take rennies until 12 hours before, but to use sparingly. Was he able to drive to and from his appointments alone? Also if you don't mind how did he feel during and afterwards? Thanks in advance

    Yeah he drove back from both appointments :grin:

    It was pretty uncomfortable but not particulalry painful other than a sore throat. The tube irritated his nose somewhat and he moaned constantly (:rolleyes: ) BUT if I'm being honest I think he made a meal of it :p:p

    As you work for a local authority I'd be taking this directly to HR. Ask them the questions-hypothetically if you like and see what they say. I can't imagine for one moment that what the manager has done is acceptable to them but at least you'll know. Otherwise if you are in a union then talk to them.
