Today I had an appointment to see my Plastic Consultant at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. The 11:35 appointment meant no rush hour traffic, no stupidly early morning and a fighting chance of getting a car parking space.

Monday 18th March Since the appointment at Addenbrooke’s I had a couple of days in bed with cold like symptoms but it wasn’t a cold. All I know is it wiped me out yet again, which if have to say I wasn’t very impress with. The rest of the time was same old, same old, […]

The letter I received said that the Assessment could take up to 2hrs, which I thought was excessive, unless that included waiting room time where they were running late.

I’ll start by apologising for being a bit quite the last week or so as I haven’t felt brilliant or done anything worth talking about. I must admit I have been a bit nervous in the run up to today and a little frustrated it has taken so long. My Consultant arrived at roughly the […]
