I was supposed to have the laser treatment today to sort out some of the
problems after my cataract surgery. Was the one that they attempted in
the summer when I was treated so appallingly. I went, had tests. my
consultant who was supposed to do it was on holiday. Surgeon who was
there said he could do it but he wouldnt dare try as its complicated. So
I have to wait until my consultant comes back off holiday for them to
phone me to make another appt. Its appalling. I specifically made it
clear when booking it that my consultant had to be in.
After the way I was treated back in the summer I can't believe they have
done this.

I am /so/ very sorry, Sarah! *Big bear hugs*. I don't even know what to say,
this is just horrible and you don't deserve to be treated this way,
sweetheart. Wish there was something I could do to make it better for you...

I'm busy trying not to dwell on it but at the same time not bottle it
up iyswim. I can't believe I psyched myself up for nothing. I was so
scared after last time :( We didnt even go out over Christmas so I
wouldnt catch anything and have it delayed. dh was off work and K spent
the day at the stables - all for nothing.
So, I'm going to have to keep myself busy and od on chocolate.
Am proud of one thing. We bought a wireless router so that we could
connect our PS3 (joint birthday and christmas presents for dh and and I)
this afternoon and i have managed to set it up with only a small amount
of swearing :) woohoo lol!! Neighbours are going to leak test it to make
sure I've set it up safely.
/twiddles thumbs.
I forsee lots of gaming to get me through the next couple of weeks.
and chocolate.

Very cool. Did you get "Rockband" by any chance? I played that at a friend's
house the other day. It's a pretty amazing game. If you are a rock music
fan in any way, you'll love it.

lol - not got Rockband though it does look cool :) Am playing Ratchet
and Clank. Its absolutely fabulous. Some of the dark bits are a little
challenging to see lol! but other than that its brilliant. I'm having to
ration myself cos I'm scared of finshing it too soon. Katherine has lego
starwars and thats cool too.

You're right Teri - I am desperate to get this all sorted and to just
get on with life. It just feels like its hanging over me every time. I'm
also desperate to get back out driving. I've not been able to drive for
over a year now and I really don't want to get all phobic about it again.
still, I have an action plan - I'm phoning on wednesday - after New Year
to complain.

You're right - they're idiots and haven't learnt any bedside manner.
You're better off waiting for your consultant even if that is
nerve-wracking. He could have checked his diary tho....

Oh Dear, that's dreadful Sarah,
although at least it's not happening in the middle of The Holidays -
you'd have thought someone would have figured he wouldn't have been
around just now.

Thats the thing Kate - after being all worried about it through
Christmas and also having dh round to help if necc it would have been
really good to have it over with now. It spoiled things for no reason
whatsoever :(
oh well, theres no point on me stewing on it. Got out for a nice walk
fossil hunting today.
Are you doing anything for New Year?
