How do you cope with a postponed prostate biopsy? Less than 24 hours to scheduled appointment. Leanne (Health Receptionist) explained it was down to a member of staff taking unwell. I replied that I was disappointed but understanding, and that I was sitting with my Jacket on ready to go. Keep it light you understand after all its not Leanne's fault. After the call finished I glanced down at the floor to my bag already packed and a hand written note of things to do.
I did have my Jacket on.
What followed I can only described as a mental breakdown. Realising that I could probably do with some professional help I went down to my GP's surgery. When I asked to see a doctor the reply was "Rearrange these words, into a well known phrase or saying. On Jog"
Where can you go?
Thanks
Ronnie
