OMG... that is a long time. Is that normal?

I didnt think it would be so long. I suppose it may be different for everyone.

Hi guys, I'm going to Taunton for my band on the 21st, it was originally with Mr Mahon, but they needed to change my date and the letter says Mr Wellbourne.........so who knows, I'll see on the day and let you know! It was Mr Mahon that I saw at my consultation, and he was very nice (despite the cream cake on his desk lol). I started my journey on the 4th January 2008 when my GP made the request for funding, and even tho I wanted it 'yesterday', with hindsight I'm really glad that it has taken so long because it's given me time to mentally prepare and just read as much info as I could. And also what's really important for me is the chance to talk to people that have done it and are wearing the t-shirt!
