Hi everyone
Sorry to bother you with what is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering if you could help. As most of you know I’m waiting on surgery date confirmation and I was wondering if it’s more likely to be by telephone or letter? I had to go out into the garden yesterday for some air and save me going stir crazy (I’ve been trying to stay in, just in case) and thought I heard the phone but didn’t get back inside in time to catch it.
I guess the waiting zone is getting to me (again) as I woke up at 4:30am this morning worrying that I’d missed a phone call because I forgot to put the answer machine on and had missed my chance at a November date. I know I’m being totally idiotic, and I just have to be patient but it’s getting harder and harder as time goes by. I really hate how this little beggar plays with your mind.
Hope everyone is in good spirits and that anyone with procedures coming up have a successful outcome.

Hi Angie.
No it's not a stupid question. All of my dealings with the hospital were done by phone (then followed up by letter) If they couldn't get me on the landline they immediately used my mobile so you're very unlikely to miss a call. If you think you've missed a call dial 1471, that will give you the last number that called your house - might help but some hospitals numbers are withheld - but at least you'd know if they had tried to call so you could get on to the secretary.
Hope that helps, stay calm, sending you hugs, Barb xx

Hi Barb,
Thank you, I completely forgot about my mobile, not sure if that’s a senile moment or this little beggar playing with my mind again.
You’re due to start Brachytherapy tomorrow aren’t you? Hope everything goes well and they kick the hell out of the the little beggar, I’m thinking ‘little beggar ‘ is actually too polite a name for this nasty invader, but I don’t want to get kicked off for causing offence to others by calling it what I really think it should be called. Best wishes for tomorrow and thanks again for your help and bringing me back to sensibility.
Take Care
Angie
