It’s getting even more sunny 🌞

Went for my GP appointment yesterday to get the referral to the team in Maidstone. And I got it! We sat and chatted. I showed him my information on PRD and he went straight on line to PRDA to find out where and who to send the referral to. He had never heard of this before but was very interested. He said he would email the referral and also he took some of the info I had and said he would read up more on the website.

To say I’m a happy bunny is an understatement. I feel so grateful to this site and particularly to all of you who have given me meaningful information. This is very empowering. Thanks everyone and I will keep you updated as I go on. Have a good day everyone 🌞🌞💝

Thanks Maddie1234. I’m just so happy that I got what I needed from my GP. Will definitely keep you all posted. Strange how such little things mean so much after cancer 🌞

You are so right. Well it's time for ya to keep your fingers crossed for me. My Psychiatrist wrote to my GP a few weeks ago in relation to getting something sorted regarding my pain management. (Those of you who read my previous posts will know this). I didn't expect much back & I was right. I got a Txt from the Surgery to say to ring between 8.30-10am to ask for a call back from a GP. I was/am so disillusioned that I just ignored it. I just couldn't stand the thought of having to deal with a GP. My anxiety levels go through the roof if I have to dial the number never mind having to speak to one much less getting an APPOINTMENT😡😡 I have sworn that I will never go to another appointment on my own after how I've been treated in the past. Anyway, I've been in agony all week. I was in so much pain yesterday that I couldn't even cry. So, it has to be, that I make contact with the devil. I'm going to try to get through to them starting Monday morn (no guarantee that I will get through) or if I do I may be told that the Doctors have reached their safe limit of call backs for the day 😡😡My stomach is churning thinking about it. Keep your fingers crossed that I get it over with on Monday & don't have to carry on into Tuesday. I'll be a complete nervous wreck. Thanks to anyone who reads this. x
