By this point I had been away from work 3 months. Suddenly an appointment was forthcoming.

Really sorry to hear about your health problems, but I do agree - sometimes it can be a wake-up call for a whole-life re-assessment. <br /><br />You wouldn't be the first to find a specialist less than engaging.

You don't have to make a complaint, just give them a nudge that you expect more.<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying the cooler weather today x.Lesley Beetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384323023378437869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-13579903061185498222012-05-26T08:22:01.458+01:002012-05-26T08:22:01.458+01:00Thank you Pauline, for your kind comments. Well, i...Thank you Pauline, for your kind comments. Well, it was 28C in the garden yesterday, so I was inside! It has been blowy here though overnight. I left the study window open and have just discovered a small pile of papers were all over the floor! Today is another bright,sunny & blowy day.

Let's hope that the 2nd injection works and you don't need surgery. Don't you hate it when doctors do that...doesn't matter if you're not in her Top 5, eventually she might learn to respect her patient's intelligence. I'm always impressed by the quality of your blogging and your commitment. Good luck with all the health issues and hope you resolve what it means in terms of work. <br />On a sillier note, it's 19C here and blowy. I had to retreat from my outdoor table because it was too cold!
