Re: not coping

I have a sneaky feeling that it might not be the done thing to offer things to eat / drink on someone else's thread? Lol 😄

Re: not coping

Good Night @NatureLover

Will go and do meds and come back with real herbal ..lol

@Lee82 @Lee71 @outlander

Think the main thing is to find a way to respect what is happening on a thread ... sometimes that is taking a risk and having a go ...

All we can do is try.

Re: not coping

So sorry @outlander your post did not show up in my notifications. Well I think you are doing the right thing by getting a second opinion and also taking the support worker with you especially if she has medical knowledge.
that is a ridiculous amount of time spent travelling for a 5 minute consult so a second opinion closer would be the right thing to do.

Re: not coping

that's ok @Lee82 my notifications are still scattered too.
i know the second opinion is the right thing cause yeah i agree 5 min is such a short time there. the waiting and travel time is almost not worth going now depending on what this surgeon says. depending on what he says i may end up transferring down here, ive been told by various people that sticking with the surgeon who done the surgery is often best cause they know all the past history etc but a second opinion wont hurt esp since its being kindly bulked billed (or its a $60 gap so not overly expensive anyway) im just not sure about her coming into the room, i guess ill see how i go on the day, i might let him get through some of it and checking it out for himself and then calling her in after to discuss options etc. it feels awkward having people there besides those who need to be there in the room when a physical sort of exam is being done.
