Got a letter from hospital this morning saying they cancelled my appointment on Thursday, and would be in touch with a new appointment.

I was told last week that they are now booking for September as funding has run out.

So I called the hospital every hour on the hour leaving a message for the appointments manager to call me, I was very pleasant but firm.

She called me back at 4pm and my new appointment is Monday at 10am

So my pocket pals can have a lie in on Thursday

    Thanks all.

    The main reason I was so upset is that my 2 teen boys have been doing everything around the house for a long time and I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel.

    Now I am just praying that there is not another letter on its way cancelling monday.

    If there is I think I shall deny getting the letter and turn up for the appointment anyway

    Hi Geri,

    So hope its not cancelled again flower and the lads I am sure don't mind. AS lot of folk here have kids that do a lot around the house and can reassure you better than I on that one.

    Be with you Monday and leaving you a ((( ))) and hope its not cancelled, and it shouldn't be again. Cris xx
