Well it's a good job I phoned today!....

Hi all, saw the dietician a couple months ago and had been waiting for her to send an appt. to me to see the surgeon. She also said she'd be writing to my Dr.

Ive left a couple of msgs for her over the weeks to try to find out what going on but she never got back to me . Anyway thought Id speak to my Dr today to see if she'd heard from them yet as it'd had been a while and Dr says she hasnt heard anything and I should try calling her (dietician) again!

So I calls her and leaves yet another msg saying I want to know if ive got an appt or not?
Anyways, she calls me back a few hours later to tell me that its a good job I called as my appointment is at 10am this Monday coming!! 16th!

She didnt know why I hadnt recieved a letter?

Im really glad Ive finally got one now but dread to think how much longer Id have been waiting for another appt. if I had have missed this one because I didnt actually know about it!! x x
