We have been having problems with our post recently because of all the recent postal strikes. This has meant we have been receiving letters from the hospital with very short notice or even late (eg my initial - and crucial - consultation with the surgeon arrived with less than 24 hours notice and this week, my OH's appointment for post-op follow up re his 2nd bout of surgery arrived the lunchtime AFTER his appointment 
)
This started me worrying ("What? Tilly worry? " I hear you say) What if my latest appointment letters hadn't arrived at all???????
So I screwed up all my courage and e-mailed the surgery appointment team at King's. (I know it sounds stupid because I spend so much of my work life on the phone but I have a real phobia about using the phone.)
I have just had a lovely phonecall from the team leader of the appointments team who has confirmed that I am on the waiting list for surgery (which I knew but it is nice to hear it confirmed from someone else) and told me that my date will be set and I will hear towards the end of October or the beginnig of November at the latest.
From everything I have heard about notice times for surgery, I think that that means that I should have a date for the end of November/beginning of December. (At the outside, early January)
It is a small thing I know and you cannot guarantee anything until the operation is actually over and done but I am very cheerful at the moment (And if this is how happy I feel now, I expect I will be doing cartwheels when I actually have a confirmed date arty0049
Hope everyone gets a bit of good news today.
