Special Delivery

[georig]

Further to my specialist appointment yesterday I got a chap on the door today from a taxi driver who handed me a large white envelope with my name and address on it.

I opened it to find it was my appointment for an Endoscopy next Wednesday.

Panicking even more now!

Hi there. Don't panic! It could just be that they have had a cancellation and they wanted to make sure that you got the appointment in time. If they had relied on the post by the time you received the letter if you had a problem attending that appointment date then it would probably be to late to offer the appointment to someone else.

I will try and not let my mind run riot.

Hi

I know it's hard, but try not to worry, at least they are doing something for you xxxx

Hi, as Alf says, don't panic, you will be fine. Make sure you have sedation and throat spray. If you have sedation, you will need someone to take you home, as you cannot drive for 24 hours.

I hope this helps,

David

Thanks David - it does help.

Hi again, I've had quite a few, but only one without sedation , and it's not for me. The ones with sedation were fine....just mild discomfort, so please don't worry.
