Re: not coping

yeah it does @Snowie
unfortunatly with covid so many things have been stuffed up esp the wait lists now. if this had of been normal circumstances i wouldve already had it done (4 weeks tops for an urgent case) but with covid its a minimum of 2 months now. its only been just on 4 weeks since i put the paperwork in so i have at least another 4 weeks to go in the public system

Re: not coping

Oh that would be so good if it's only a week's wait...but it's a bugger that there's been a hold up with the paperwork. I really hope the paperwork gets sorted sooner rather than later - like tomorrow!! @outlander
