Evening all
Going to start papering the lounge. Using all the n.h.s appointment letters. Will look pretty bland but a good coat of magnolia emulsion should sort that out. Either that or a big 
. Maybe just recycle them and keep on the good side of gretta thorberg
(I think that's the name)

yes lots of paperwork.
I had a check up at restorative dentist on Wednesday. I need two appointments which the consultant set up on his screen. I went to the desk to pick up the letters to be told that I couldn’t have them as the appointments were too far in the future (four weeks!)and they would be in the post. Four letters arrived yesterday morning ( two for each visit) and another four identical, but on slightly different colour paper this morning.
I'm beginning to think papering the loo might be a good start.
Apart from giving birth to my daughter I have largely avoided doctors except for routine preventative stuff for 60 years. In 18months the paper file my consultant occasionally brandishes is six inches thick!

Base of tongue cancer. T2N0M0 6 weeks Radiotherapy finished January 2019
Similar note, the lovely receptionist in ENT out patients at my hospital needed to go into weight training to manage to lift my file by the time I was discharged; I'd had a few problems pre-cancer so there was already a wedge there before I even started. Such a lovely young woman and has great muscle tone now as well! The last time I was there I made a point of thanking her for her smiling face and great attitude over the years and told her I was (hopefully) gone for good; she was lovely and wished me well but I'm sure I detected a slight sigh of relief when I turned my back and left 
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
Ha Ha, they used to moan about the weight of my notes, not that I understood them , i had three teeth removed at the hospital recently and I was surprised to see my wad of notes tagging along.
Chris.
Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !
