    Hi elaine

    I Will be thinking of you tomorrow and want to wish you luck.
    At least you seem organised and ready for the consultation which is a good thing.
    Hope you can get someone to go with you but if not just think of all us lot sending you virtual courage.

    Take care

    Hi Elizabeth

    Well you know i really do appreciate your good luck wishes, it does help in some sort of psychological way...
    We have to set off at 07.20 so cant get there anymore earlier than we are doing just now as need to be up at 06.30 tomorrow...
    You know i do get tearful, I did when i spoke to the ICAS advisor how i felt and its not put on at all.....I really do feel as if life's on standby, i just cant do what i used to and the reason for that is my knee deterioration...I have always carried weight all my life, even when i had my 2nd op to take out loose body and weighed about 11.5 - 12 stone they still went on at me back then to lose weight...I guess im never going to be a skinny minnie unless i had a gastirc band...
    I hope too that he can see ive made steps, albeit baby steps to losing weight, it shows im serious, i havent gone on and emotional ate and put on more weight which could have been very easy too..
    I hope too that he sees me in a better light, i think im being positive, if he can see that too then he may consider me in the future for treatment...

    Thanks lots n lots for support...

    dear Elaine I will be with you on Monday. If possible get there a little bit early and get all the tears out before hand so you feel more composed when you go yo speak to him(I am actually the worlds worse cryer, I could make a living out of it as everything sets me off) and this is what I have to do if i feel the tears coming as it can be embarrassing.
    There is no guarantee he will listen to you as he may be' just that sort of bloke' but I hope he does see how your quality of life has been so badly affected and how a knee operation would hope you so much. I hope he praises you for making the effort by starting to lose weight, again no guarantee because he' might be that sort of bloke'. Just don't take it personally Elaine and concerntrate on the medical side of things.

    Deep breath Elaine and best wishes

    Hi Julie

    Well thanks very much for good luck wishes and courage - just like the lion in wizard of oz huh?
    Im as organised as i can be and just hoping he is approaching it positively too and not wanting to chastise me....It took a lot of thinking to email them back after being discharged in december 2010...

    Hi Elaine,
    Gosh it has all come at once for you. I do hope your dad will be able to go with you. May be you could split the questions between you and count them off. It’s a good idea to have a ‘bullet list ‘with you as he will have his paperwork to look at.
    I hope your sister improves soon. I am so sorry you and yours have to go through all this.

    Hi Elaine
    Just sending you some good vibes for tomorrow, one thing I have learned is that the more consultant you see the more you can deal with them on your level.
    When I first saw one I was like a little sheep, but the last one a few weeks ago I did shock myself by speaking up....I would have patted myself on the back if I could have reached :roll: I even rang his secretary this is something I would never have done.
    POWER TO THE PATIENTS :lol:

    Hi I

    Well I suppose it has I dont think like it that way.....I simply have tried my best since getting my head out of the fog after christmas and new year....My own doctor even told me i was negative for wanting answers from consultants, warned me off going to see a dietitan saying that often people dont get on with them at all...But i walked out of her surgery that day and thought to myself "youre not being negative, if you were youd know" and i mean that...If im wrong i will own up, even if its to my detriment, some dont like me for that but i cant and wont change......I could have easily turned into a human tortoise but havent...
    Dad and i are just reading paperwork and picking out things to talk about....I just hope we get a normal conversation with this man and he appreciates how much of a struggle its been for me and my family....
    My sister spoke to my mum on phone today but she is dead weak,im thinking she may end but with a superbug....

    Hi Barbara

    Well i can see what you mean and think its great....I think its cos first of all i tried to be proactive with kendal man and he was so obstructive right from the moment he walked into the consultation room....That in turn has bruised my confidence but im going to complain about him, he had no right to do that, nor to put in a letter that he had been very helpful and forthcoming with information...
    I think the mental issue of having someone with you does help me....I was like a sheep in december despite being quite relaxed about app beforehand...

    Just have to hope for best....
