Hospital

[meike]

Hello everybody, my appointment at St James hospital was for 9.30 this morning, the letter said to bring a urine sample, and to expect to be there for at least 3/4hours . We arrived at twenty past nine, and was seen by the consultant at about 9.45' which was super as one expects to be waiting a lot longer, because these places are busy. The consultant went through my condition with me and explained how they would be able to help me if I was suitable for the operation. What the letter did not say is that I would have no tests today and that I would only have a chat with the consultant who would explain what my options were ,and that I would have to go back on two/three separate days for further tests which I don't mind but I had got myself all worked up for the tests, anyway I now await the letters to tell me what days my appointments will be . But I must say that the consultant that I saw was lovely and explained everything to me which answered most of my questions at this time . will let you know the outcome of the tests when I have had them.

All the best luck, melke!

Hello meike,

Well, now you have started, and I bet you are now a bit more relaxed about it all. You are coming across as more positive. From now on, you are going to come up with questions. I would suggest that you write them down, and ask the consultant when you next see him. Remember that there is no such thing as a silly question. If it concerns you enough to think of it, it deserves an answer.

Anyway, I am pleased for you that you got this far.

As always, breathe easy,

johnwr

Hi johnwr, yes as you say I feel a little more positive, it's a good idea that I write. My questions down for when I go again, the consultant asked me if I had any questions and i said yes a million but I can't think of anyone of them at the moment and as soon as I got outside I thought I should have asked him this and I should have asked him that, so yes it would be a good idea if I write it down , it was good to sit in front of someone who pulled no punches and told me just what my options are. Thank you for your concern
