Re: not coping

Drat, I was hoping that surgery date had been sorted for you by the specialist's office, @outlander .

I've got to go out tomorrow for 4 hours and I'm not looking forward to it...germs plus leaving the house, eeek!

Re: not coping

i was hoping it wouldve been sorted by now too @NatureLover

im sorry your not looking forward to going out tomorrow, maybe you could treat yourself to something afterwards like a reward? get a coffee (or whatever you might like) or an icecream, go for a scenic drive or something?

Re: not coping

Haha - you just gave me a giggle, @outlander 😄

A scenic drive is like a nightmare to an agoraphobic...panicking as they get further and further away from home, lol. But I take your idea of treating myself very kindly, and will think of something. One thing (among many) that I admire about you is how excellent you are with practical suggestions that will help. ❤ So thank you 🙂

Re: not coping

it is frustrating @Snowie by the time i get it sorted i probably will be going through the public system. i would rather my own specialist though so i think id still rather it this way. i have heard really good things him and his work (plus he is the one that trained 90% of the people in the public hospital nearby that i would be going to) its just frustratingly slow

Re: not coping

Hehe, I'm still chuckling, @outlander . You're so sweet to think of things I could do to treat myself. I may not even have mentioned my agoraphobia, so please don't give it another thought ❤
