18 months... this is starting to get boring and repetitive now...
As you may remember from my last post, the next step in my jaw journey was apparently to wait for a letter telling me my surgery date. To cut a long story short, it's now been over 3 weeks since I had my last appointment. My operation is meant to be at a different hospital (Kings) to the one I usually go to (Queen Mary's). When I spoke to Queen Mary's, they said that the letter should be coming from Kings, but then when I rang Kings they had no idea who I was and hadn't been contacted by Queen Mary's about putting me on the waiting list. So I rang back Queen Mary's, and they said they'd speak to my surgeon when he's in on Monday afternoon and they'll get back to me... I won't hold my breath. If I don't hear from them by towards the end of Monday, I'll be on the phone harassing them yet again.
I hate to moan and nag, I'm really not a complainer, but it really is the only way to get anything done. It's soooooooo frustrating and ridiculous, what would happen if I didn't ring and nag them all the time? I think this would've taken even longer, if that's possible...
It's hard to wait for an answer. It feels like forever. Before u know it ur surgery will be around the corner. Just be patient. Make sure you call ur doc as soon as u can so they can straighten everything out n u don't have to be the middleman anymore. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand how you are feeling. I've been getting the run-around too. Just keep on them!
